Airline News: TransAsia gets their new Airbus baby with SQ seats!


TransAsia Airways, based in Taiwan just taken delivery of their new A330-300, the first of two in the works. Set up as a two class cabin, with 300 seats, the newly minted Airbus will fly between Taipei and Hokkaido and Singapore. Eventually, the carrier will be considering Australia and New Zealand, as well as the Middle East as future destinations.

The Airbus planes will also feature the new Panasonic ex2 system which will add to the carrier's inflight entertainment ambitions.  Previously, TransAsia Airways scored an aviation milestone when it became the first full service Asian airline to offer complimentary inflight entertainment on iPads for business class passengers.  This commitment to inflight product excellence and going ahead of the curve makes it well poised to go deeper into the aggressive Asian market.

Point to note:  Their business class cabin has the same seat as SQ's A333. Coincidence much?
