China Eastern Airlines recently announced that its round-trip route between Shanghai and Rome uses the latest Airbus A350-900 aircraft from March 31, 2019.

Over the past eight years, more than one million passengers have chosen China Eastern Airlines to travel between China and Italy, which formed the “Silk Road” in the air for the exchange between the two countries. In order to better serve passengers and increase travel comfort, China Eastern Airlines replaced the aircraft for Shanghai-Rome route with the latest A350 aircraft, providing high-quality travel services to passengers with new on-board hardware, software and entertainment facilities.

The Airbus A350-900 has a total of 288 seats, including 4 Luxury Business Class seats equipped with two movable sliding doors that can form an independent private compartment when closed, and it could become a “social area” that accommodates four people when necessary. There are 36 Business Class seats with a length of 196cm when fully lied down, equipped with mini bar and 18-inch display with Bluetooth headset module. Besides, there are 32 Premium Economy Class seats and 216 Economy Class seats, all equipped with 4D headrests, power supply and the largest 13-inch display in the industry.

The aboard entertainment system provides travelers with personalized entertainment resources.

In the meantime, the Air-Ground Internet connection on China Eastern Airlines’ A350 aircraft is faster with maximum access speed at 200 m/s, which supplies better Internet surfing experience to passengers.
