Korean Air (KAL) will be taking delivery of its Airbus A380 in May and the aircraft will have 407 seats, the lowest seating density of any A380.
The 407 seats will include 12 first class and 94 business class seats, says the SkyTeam Alliance carrier, adding that the upper-deck will be all business class. This upper deck will have 94 lie-flat sleeper seats with 74 inch pitch, it says.
Next year it will receive five A380s with the first coming in May and then in 2012-2014 it will receive five more, it says.
The airline plans to operate A380s to Japan, Europe and the U.S.
KAL’s move to have a lower seating density signals its intention to compete more aggressively against Singapore Airlines and other premium carriers for business travelers.
