Aircraft Interiors – industry development summary: Jan/Feb-2023

飞机内饰--行业发展概述：2023年1月/2月

In early 2023 Xiamen Airlines, a Chinese airline long known for operating an all-Boeing fleet, took delivery of its first Airbus aircraft – an A321neo.

厦门航空一直以运营全波音机队而闻名，2023年初，该公司接收了第一架空客飞机——A321neo。

While Airbus’ victory in winning Xiamen Airlines itself is major, it is equally noteworthy how widely present Chinese-developed interiors are, from nose to tail.

空客飞机首次入役厦门航空无疑具有非常重大的意义。但与此同时，新入役的这架飞机内部多处采用了中国国产内饰，同样值得人们关注。

AVIC Hubei Ali-Jiatai Aircraft Equipment provided all the passenger seats, including eight JT220B seats in business class and 200 JT220E seats in economy class.

中航工业湖北阿里-嘉泰飞机设备有限公司提供了全部客运座椅，其中包括8个商务舱JT220B座椅，200个经济舱JT220E座椅。

Xiamen Airlines is the second Chinese airline, after China Eastern Airlines, to adopt these models on Western-made aircraft.

厦门航空是继中国东方航空之后第二家在西方制造的飞机上采用中国制内饰的中国航空公司。

As for inflight entertainment (IFE), Xiamen Airlines became the launch customer of CETCA’s iWO system by installing it across all current and upcoming Airbus aircraft.

关于机上娱乐系统（IFE），厦门航空成为了中电科航空电子有限公司（CETCA）iWO系统的启动客户，厦航会在当前和未来的所有空客飞机上安装该系统。

AVIC Hubei Ali-Jiatai Aircraft Equipment, a division of state owned Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), has been designing and manufacturing interior products for both aircraft and trains since its founding in 2010.

中航工业湖北阿里-嘉泰飞机设备有限公司是国有的中航工业集团公司（AVIC）的一家子公司，自2010年成立以来一直承担着设计和制造飞机和火车内饰的工作。

AVIC seats first appeared on China Southern Airlines’ Boeing 777-200ERs and Shanghai Airlines’ 767s around 2013. The installations were likely intended to test the waters as both fleet types were scheduled to retire shortly after receiving AVIC seats.

2013年左右，中航工业座椅首次出现在中国南方航空公司的波音777-200ER飞机和上海航空公司的767飞机上。不过安装这些座椅可能是为了试水，因为这两个机队在安装该座椅后不久就退出了现役。

AVIC then started line-fitting seats for Chengdu Airlines’ Comac ARJ21s, followed by aircraft from smaller Chinese airlines – for instance China Express Airlines, 9 Air, China United Airlines, Air Travel, and Okay Airways.

中航工业随后开始为成都航空的商用飞机ARJ21安装座椅，之后也为一些小型航空公司的飞机安装——例如华夏航空、九元航空、中国联合航空、湖南航空和奥凯航空。

China Eastern Airlines and Sichuan Airlines became the first of the major Chinese airlines to line-fit ‘Made in China’ seats on Western aircraft. Since 2021, both airlines have started receiving A320neos with AVIC seats.

中国东方航空和四川航空是中国大型航空公司中首批在西方制飞机上安装中国制座椅的航空公司。自2021年起，这两家航空公司都开始接收装有中航工业座椅的A320neo飞机。

Xiamen Airlines is the latest major player to follow suit.

厦门航空是最新跟进的大型航空公司。

Count of current fleet with AVIC Hubei Ali-Jiatai seats in economy class, since Mar-2014 (2014-2024)

自2014年3月起，目前机队中拥有中航工业湖北阿里-嘉泰经济舱座位的数量（2014-2024）。

Inflight connectivity (IFC) is another area in which Chinese suppliers are eager to make inroads. 

空中互联(IFC)是中国供应商渴望进军的另一个领域。

Shandong Airlines is in partnership with STAECO to install IFC (in-flight connectivity) on its 737-800s. The solution was jointly developed by STAECO, Space Star Technology, Chengdu Global-way Communication Technology, and Donica Aviation Engineering.

山东航空公司与中国太古飞机工程有限公司（STAECO）合作，在其737-800飞机上安装空中互联系统。安装方案由太古飞机工程有限公司、航天恒星科技公司、成都国卫通信技术公司和多尼卡电子技术有限公司联合制定。

The first aircraft to receive the modification was completed in Jan-2023. 

第一架接受改造的飞机于2023年1月完工。

It will be interesting to see whether major airlines such as Sichuan Airlines, which has been rapidly installing Viasat equipment, will eventually pivot to solutions developed in China. From seats to inflight entertainment & connectivity (IFEC) there has been a clear rise in Chinese-made aircraft interior products.

四川航空等大型航空公司是否会完全转向中国提供的内饰解决方案？这是一个问题。长期以来，这些公司一直在其运营的客机上普及美国卫讯公司生产的设备，但近年来中国国产内饰产品的使用量明显增多，产品范围覆盖了机舱座椅以及机上娱乐中心（IFEC）等。

Although still in its infancy, the Chinese interiors sector has tremendous potential by calling the second largest airline market its 'home'. Not to mention that the Chinese government is likely to take a proactive stance in convincing state-owned airlines to abandon Western solutions and make use of Chinese ones.

中国的内饰行业仍处于起步阶段，但既然它以第二大航空市场作为主场，说明该行业拥有巨大的潜力。而且中国政府可能会采取积极的态度，说服国有航空公司放弃西方的解决方案，转而采用中国方案。

Xiamen Airlines’ A321neo featuring 100% Chinese-made seats and IFE may have marked the start of a seismic shift.

厦门航空的A321neo飞机采用了100%中国制造的座椅，提供了机上娱乐服务，这也许是一场巨变的开始。

The continuous surge of Premium Economy

高端经济舱的不断涌现

The past decade has seen continuing strength in premium economy class growth. The share of the widebody passenger fleet in service that has premium economy installed has quadrupled, to 40%, between 2013 and 2023.

在过去的十年中，高端经济舱的增加持续强劲。在2013年至2023年期间，宽体客机中安装高端经济舱的比例翻了两番，达到40%。

Some major airlines remain holdouts, however many airlines have started to join the trend.

一些大型航空公司仍然持反对意见，但许多航空公司已经开始加入这一大潮。

After becoming the first airline in the Middle East to introduce premium economy in late 2021, Emirates recently completed its first premium economy retrofit. Until recently, the cabin had only been featured on the six newest A380s.

阿联酋航空于2021年底成为中东首家推出高端经济舱的航空公司，最近又完成了首次高端经济舱改造。截至目前，该公司已有6架最新款的A380客机采用了高端经济舱的配置模式。

The airline is expected to install premium economy across its entire fleet within the next few years.

该航空公司预计将在未来几年内为整个机队安装高端经济舱。

In Europe, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and SWISS are continuing to make progress in installing premium economy on their long haul fleets.

欧洲的荷兰皇家航空公司和瑞士航空公司正在推进为长途机队安装高端经济舱的工作。

Since 2023 KLM has started turning its installation focus from the 787-10 to the 787-9.

2023年起，荷航将其安装重点从787-10飞机转向787-9飞机。

SWISS, part of the Lufthansa Group, has started operating its A340-300s with premium economy after completing a rollout on the 777-300ERs. 

作为汉莎航空集团的一部分，瑞士航空在完成了777-300ER的推广后开始在其A340-300飞机上安装使用高端经济舱。

Lufthansa Group, the biggest European airline group, introduced its premium economy product in 2014. Lufthansa’s 747-8s were the first to receive the new seats in 4Q2014, followed by Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, and Eurowings Discover.

汉莎航空集团是欧洲最大的航空集团，该集团旗下的汉莎航空子公司2014年第四季度率先在波音747-8飞机上安装了高端经济舱座椅，标志着汉莎航空集团正式推出此类服务。汉莎航空集团旗下的奥地利航空、布鲁塞尔航空和欧洲之翼航空等随后陆续推出了高端经济舱服务。

SWISS was the last in the group to unveil a premium economy cabin (debuted on the 777-300ER in 2022). 

瑞士航空是该集团中最后一个推出高端经济舱的航空公司（2022年在777-300ER飞机上首次亮相）。

Although it was the last airline to unveil a premium economy cabin, SWISS was the first to install Lufthansa Group’s new Allegris premium economy seat. The majority of the current and future Lufthansa Group premium economy products are manufactured by the German seat supplier ZIM Aircraft Seating.

尽管瑞士航空是汉莎航空集团旗下最后一家推出高端经济舱的航空公司，但却是该集团首家采用最新款Allegris高端经济舱座椅的子公司。该座椅由德国座椅供应商ZIM飞机座椅公司提供。汉莎航空集团今后大部分高端经济舱都将采用这款座椅。

汉莎航空集团在过去十年中（2013年3月至2023年3月）安装有高端经济舱的机队数量

Across the Atlantic, major American airlines are also pursuing the premium economy concept.

在大西洋彼岸，美国的大型航空公司也在追求高端经济舱的概念。

The president of Delta Air Lines, Glen Hauenstein, reported that 55% of the airline’s revenue in 2022 was generated by premium products. Delta is close to completing installation of premium economy across its entire widebody fleet, with A330s and 767s being the last remaining incomplete fleets.

达美航空的总裁格伦·豪恩斯坦说，2022年该航空公司55%的收入来自于高端产品。达美航空即将完成整个宽体机队高端经济舱的安装，A330和767是最后尚未完成安装的机队。

American Airlines stressed the importance of premium economy seats when it announced the interiors for its upcoming 787-9 and A321XLR deliveries. The airline also plans on adding 16 premium economy seats to its 777-300ERs as part of an upcoming retrofit programme. That retrofit will mean that American retires first class cabins across its fleet, making way for more business and premium economy class seats, as this is “what our customers most want and are willing to pay for”, according to American's CCO Vasu Raja.

美国航空公司在其即将交付787-9和A321XLR飞机的内饰时，强调了高端经济舱座椅的重要性。该公司还计划在777-300ER飞机上增加16个高端经济舱座椅，将其作为即将进行的改造计划的一部分。据美航首席运营官瓦苏·拉贾称，这次改造意味着美航将淘汰所有头等舱，为更多的商务舱和高端经济舱让路，因为这是“我们的客户最想要的，也是最愿意为之支付费用的服务”。

Premium seating across American’s long haul fleet is set to grow by more than 45% by 2026. 

到2026年，美航长途机队中的高端座椅数量将增长45% 以上。

Delta delivers on its free WiFi promise

达美航空兑现其免费WiFi承诺

Since 2018 Delta has been touting its ambition to provide free inflight WiFi for all.

自2018年以来，达美航空一直在宣传为所有人提供免费机上WiFi的目标。

In Feb-2023 the airline finally delivered on phase 1 of this promise, making WiFi free (albeit requiring a SkyMiles account) on all Viasat-equipped aircraft. With this development, Delta becomes the first of the ‘Big Three’ in the US to offer free WiFi regardless of travel class.

2023年2月，该航空公司终于完成了这一承诺的第一阶段，在所有配备卫讯的飞机上提供免费WiFi（尽管该服务需要SkyMiles账户才可使用）。达美航空因此成为美国“三巨头”中第一个不考虑旅行级别，为用户提供免费WiFi的航空公司。

This is made possible by Delta’s decision to part with its long-time IFC provider Intelsat (which acquired Gogo) and to go with Viasat in early 2021. The switchover has occurred at a dramatic pace: in less than two years more than 500 narrowbodies had 2Ku systems removed.

达美航空决定在2021年初不再与长期的IFC供应商国际通讯卫星公司合作（该公司收购了Gogo），转而与卫讯公司合作。该公司转换的速度非常快，他们在不到两年的时间里拆除了超过500架窄体飞机的2Ku系统。

Viasat-equipped aircraft now operate most of Delta’s domestic mainline flights. 

目前达美航空的大部分国内航班均配备了卫讯公司的机载设备。

As Viasat installation inches closer to completion across Delta’s narrowbodies, the next major phase is Delta’s widebody fleet. After years of speculation, Delta confirmed earlier this year that its Viasat commitment is fleet-wide. This means that the remaining Intelsat-equipped aircraft, including the A330s, A350s, and 767s, will also switch to Viasat.

卫讯在达美航空窄体飞机上的安装逐渐接近完工，下一个主要阶段是达美航空宽体飞机的安装工作。经过多年的猜测，达美航空今年早些时候证实，其关于卫讯的承诺将覆盖整个机队，这意味着其余配备国际通信卫星的飞机（包括A330、A350和767）也将转用卫讯。

Percentage share of IFC model within the current fleet of Delta over the past five years: Mar-2018 and Mar-2023

过去五年中（2018年5月-2023年5月）IFC机型在达美航空现有机队中的占比。

Delta is among an increasing number of airlines aiming to make WiFi free. 

越来越多的航空公司计划提供免费WiFi，达美航空就是其中之一。

In Feb-2023 Singapore Airlines expanded its unlimited free WiFi service to all business class passengers and elites.

2023年2月，新加坡航空将无限免费WiFi服务扩展至所有商务舱乘客。

Meanwhile, all Krisflyer members who travel in premium economy and economy can now enjoy free WiFi for three hours and two hours, respectively.

同时，所有乘坐高端经济舱和普通经济舱的新航会员现在可以分别享受3小时和2小时的免费WiFi。

This trend has been supported not only by airlines but also by IFC providers, including John Wade, vice president Connectivity Business Unit from Panasonic Avionics Corporation: commenting on Delta’s free WiFi scheme, Mr Wade stated, "I think that by the end of this decade, Delta’s vision of ‘Wi-Fi for everybody’ will be true for all of aviation […] Panasonic Avionics is in a ‘very strong position’ to support the free inflight Wi-Fi model”.

这一倾向不仅得到了航空公司的支持，也得到了IFC供应商的支持。松下航空电子公司连接业务部副总裁约翰·韦德评价该计划说：“我认为，到本十年末，达美航空的‘人人享有Wi-Fi’的愿景将在整个航空领域成为现实[......]松下航空电子公司在支持机上免费WiFi模式方面处于‘非常有利的地位’”。
