The airline has announced that it will introduce a dedicated fleet of three new Airbus A330-200s for the route, all of which will have a club class seating configuration.

Each aircraft will be split into two premium cabins: Club Premier and Club Classic.

The Club Premier cabin will include 34 luxurious suites with fully flat 6’1” beds; a fine dining service with individual table settings, superior wines and champagne; turndown service with duvets, pyjamas and slippers and luxury amenity kits.

Club Classic will feature 82 cradle seats configured 2-2-2 over two cabins.

Both cabins come complete with WiFi, Audio Video On Demand (AVOD), digital magazines and high definition widescreens.

The airline will fly from Gatwick’s North Terminal to Hong Kong each day from March 8 next year.

Gerard Clarke, general manager UK for Hong Kong Airlines added: “We have gained a reputation for outstanding service over the past five years and we look forward to extending this to our new flagship route, connecting two global business capitals of the world.

“The concept for the all Club Class aircraft will provide passengers with a private jet style ambience and an exceptional crew to guest ratio, and we are confident that we have the right knowledge and experience to make a success of the new all club class daily service.”
