The Dreamliner makes dreams come true. Whether in Business Class, Premium Economy or Econom Class, on board the Austrian Airlines Boeing 787-9 a new, improved travel experience awaits your customers—in all travel classes.
Business Class guests can enjoy generously sized seats that transform easily into lie-flat beds. As well as the greatest comfort, the seats provide direct access to the aisle and ample storage space. In addition, the seats’ raised side panels ensure a high degree of privacy.
The windows, which are among the largest in the entire airline industry, allow even passengers in the middle rows an uninterrupted view of the horizon. Thanks to electronic dimming, passengers can adjust the amount of light coming through the windows to suit their individual preferences, while still enjoying the breathtaking view above the clouds.
An innovative lighting system also awaits passengers on board. It adapts to the body’s clock, depending on the time of day or night, and therefore not only ensures additional well-being on board but has also been proven to help reduce jetlag.
Available for the first time on Austrian Airlines long-haul flights: FlyNet® Internet access with free messaging service in all travel classes.
Of course, Austrian hospitality and cuisine are not neglected either. For example, Do & Co Flying Chefs and the “Viennese coffee house service” provide culinary delights in Business Class. Premium Economy and Economy Class passengers have a choice of different menus.
The Dreamliner seats a total of 294 passengers: 26 in Business Class, 21 in Premium Economy and 247 in Economy Class.
The Boeing 787-9 destinations
The first two Dreamliners delivered to Austrian Airlines have been deployed on the following US routes:
A further nine Boeing 787-9s will gradually replace Austrian Airlines’ existing long-haul jets by 2028.
Innovation and efficiency
At around 2.5 liters of fuel per passenger per 100 kms flown, the Dreamliner’s fuel consumption is up to 20% less than that of a Boeing 767. Its innovative technology, lower weight, good aerodynamics and state-of-the-art engines make the 787-9 significantly more fuel-efficient than its predecessor models, which means it emits less CO2.
