In anticipation of growing trade and tourism links with Cambodia, Korean Air has introduced the Airbus A321neo on the Seoul Incheon-Phnom Penh route from 1 July.
The A321neo is a new aircraft type and the airline’s first narrowbody aircraft to have fully lie-flat seats in Prestige Class (business class), a feature normally found exclusively on wide-body aircraft.
Korean Air’s A321neo cabin is touted to be more spacious, offering eight Prestige Class (business class) seats and 174 economy class seats.
Prestige Class passengers enjoy a 44-cm personal monitor for audio/video on demand (AVOD) services along with a wireless smartphone charger, while economy class passengers will have access to a 33-cm personal monitor. AVOD Bluetooth pairing is also available for both classes.
Korean Air is the first Asian airline to feature Airbus’ Airspace cabin on an A321neo, providing passengers with larger overhead bins that are 40% larger than other A321neos.
The airline is slated to receive a total of 30 A321neo aircraft by 2027 and will also be deploying these aircraft on other routes to Southeast Asia as well as routes to China and Japan.
