British
Airways has further increased the benefits for its economy
customers travelling from Kolkata. With a Boeing 747-400 serving
the route instead of a Boeing 777, the aircraft change represents
a significant increase in the number of World Traveller (economy
cabin) seats available providing greater availability to the
growing travel market in East India.
As part of a major overhaul of its products and services,
the airline has invested 150 million pounds (Rs 112.5 crore)
in developing its economy service. Ergonomically designed
seats ensure customers’ comfort and individual seat back
video screens provide passengers with a choice of eight channels
of entertainment.
Says Alok Sawhney, British Airways commercial manager, India:
“The East India region is an important one for British
Airways which is reflected in the continual development of
our services. In addition, it will benefit tourism in the
area which is growing from the UK and Europe.”
