Thai Airways relaunches premium economy class

Bangkok-based Star Alliance member Thai Airways has officially relaunched its premium economy class offering. The premium economy product is currently only available on two Airbus A330-300 aircraft that joined the Thai Airways fleet in late 2024 via a leasing agreement with Chinese lessor CDB Aviation. The airline has not confirmed whether it will retrofit other aircraft with the product. The two Thai Airways A330-300s with premium economy are now operating services between the airline’s Bangkok hub and Fukuoka in Japan, as well as Delhi and Mumbai in India. The two A330-300s previously operated for Virgin Atlantic Airways and retain that carrier’s configuration, i.e. 31 lie-flat business class seats, 48 premium economy recliners and 185 standard economy class seats. The 31 ‘Royal Silk’ business class seats are in a 1-1-1 reverse herringbone configuration, while premium economy is configured 2-3-2 and economy class 2-4-2. The flag carrier last offered a premium economy product on its retired A340 aircraft. <br/>
