Aeroflot unveils first 777 with upgraded cabin

Aeroflot has completed the cabin refurbishment of its first aircraft under a programme for its Boeing 777-300ER fleet. The aircraft has been configured with 28 business, 24 premium economy and 375 economy seats. Two additional aircraft of Aeroflot’s 20-strong 777-300ER fleet are scheduled to be completed in September, the Russian carrier tells Cirium. Aeroflot operates 777s with a less dense configuration comprising 30 business, 48 premium economy and 324 economy seats, its website indicates. For the new 777 cabin layout, Aeroflot opted for Collins Aerospace seats across the entire cabin. The carrier selected Collin Aerospace’s Super Diamond seat for business, MiQ for premium economy and Aspire for economy. Collins Aerospace also supplies business seats for Aeroflot’s Airbus A350 fleet, which began operating in 2020. Both long-haul types are equipped with Panasonic eX3 in-flight entertainment systems, the carrier notes. Aeroflot says it will deploy its 777s on international and domestic routes to destinations, including Dubai, New York, Los Angeles, Mahe, Delhi, Yerevan, Bishkek, Baku, Tashkent, Khabarovsk, Vladivostok and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.<br/>
