China Airlines’ Airbus A350 business class wins twin awards

Taiwan’s flagship carrier China Airlines has recently been awarded for its business class cabin in its new Airbus A350 aircraft. The airline has won approval in the international design rating. Leading global aviation design resource TheDesignAir presented the Best Business Class Design and the Best New Business Class awards for 2016 to China Airlines.

The airline’s business class cabin in its Airbus A350 aircraft has won both the awards, which have been presented under the TheDesignAir Awards and TheDesignAiri Readers Poll Awards for the year 2016. The airline’s new business class product has been widely praised.

TheDesignAir while presenting the awards commented thus: “The new Airbus A350 business class cabin has striking similarity to the business class in Boeing 777-300ER. It only differentiates in new color and product details. It is also slim as well. Ray Chen had designed the original cabin, but the airline’s design team thought something else and decided to add flourishes so that the premium cabin looked different in A350 and Boeing 777.”

TheDesignAir through its twin TheDesignAir Awards and TheDesignAir Readers Poll Awards acknowledge and honor various international airlines keeping in with the annual rating, particularly focusing on the brand and aircraft cabin design.

A spokesperson of TheDesignAir said, “We are going to shortlist only those international carriers that fully conform to our internal criteria such as having the best design, product and brand, and which enhances the passenger experience in a major way. For us, the very best products would be those that have a strong design ethos and are appreciated by the travelers.”

TheDesignAir is a brainchild of senior aviation brand consultant Jonny Clark. It was established in the United States in the year 2012. The objective for which it came into being was to essentially provide latest news and reviews of the best aviation designs and products in the world. The design rating is being conducted ever since it was founded and the awards being presented year after year.
