Airbus launches ‘Airspace’ cabin concept

Airbus is hoping to appeal directly to passengers with the launch of a modern cabin interior look, branded Airspace, which will debut on the Airbus A330neo in 2017 and will be displayed as a mock-up at the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg from April 5-7. The Airspace by Airbus design, which is a “copy and paste” of the A350 XWB interior, uses customised LED lighting, parallel lines, soft shapes and ambient noise to create a relaxing space for passengers. It will be the standard interior on the A330neo. In the same way as Apple, BMW and Rolex designs are instantly recognisable without their logo, Airbus wants passengers to actively recognise and select its products. Airspace will launch on the A330neo when it enters service in 2017, with the A350 being upgraded to include some additional Airspace design elements soon after. <br/>
