Class, and an enhanced KrisWorld inflight entertainment system featuring over 1000 options, plus a suite of office
applications.

Further announcements about deployment of the aircraft beyond mid-2007 will be made in due course.
Mr Sak-Hin Chin, General Manager New Zealand, said the schedules will extend the reach of the airline’s new cabin
products to other regions within six months.
“We’re very proud of the products we have developed for the new Boeing 777-300ER. They set the highest standards for our
customers, and we are deploying them as quickly as possible across key regions in our network to allow customers to take
advantage of them.”
“The flights we have chosen are popular with our business customers, who will welcome the extra comfort features, space
and privacy of our new Business and First Class.”
“Our Economy Class customers will also notice the improvement in seat design, creating more room, as well as features
which make the journey much more comfortable for them,” added Mr Chin.
