A320neo: Swiss introduces Airspace cabin
The Swiss airline is introducing the "Airspace" cabin concept in its A320neo series aircraft. This includes larger luggage compartments and a new lighting system. The first two aircraft with the new A320neo cabin will begin scheduled service this month. According to Swiss, the overhead bins are around 40 percent larger than in the Airbus A320ceo, for example. They offer space for larger items of luggage measuring up to 61 x 40 x 25 centimeters. Up to four items of luggage can be stored next to each other in an overhead compartment instead of the previous three, as they can be stowed vertically in the compartments. The new lighting concept is designed to be based on the biorhythm of the passengers, depending on the time of day or night. The lighting can be adjusted from warm red to intermediate tones to older blue. Passengers will have more space in the shoulder area near the seats, and the washrooms will now be easier to use for people with limited mobility. "Despite the crisis, as a premium carrier, we are continuously working to continue to offer our passengers the highest quality standards. Airbus' modern and innovative 'Airspace' cabin concept makes an important contribution to this for our customers on short-haul flights. We are delighted to be able to offer them even more comfort with more space for their hand luggage and a new lighting concept adapted to their biorhythm," explains Tamur Goudarzi Pour, Chief Commercial Officer of Swiss.
