ANA unveils supersized Business Class seats with Safran
ANA's "THE Room FX" Business Class seat
All Nippon Airways (ANA) has unveiled "THE Room FX," on Safran's booth at the 55th International Paris Airshow. This next-generation Business Class seat with a privacy door for each seat of the 787-9 aircraft is the world's largest seat in its class on a mid-sized aircraft, the press release said.
"THE Room FX," developed in partnership with Safran Seats and British design company Acumen, builds upon the success and design principles of the larger Boeing 777-300ER "THE Room" seat, offering an unmatched customer experience.
"ANA is dedicated to providing the highest level of a customer experience and is investing in the future of the most advanced and comfortable travel with the new 'THE Room FX' seat," said Tomoji Ishii, Executive Vice President, Customer Experience of ANA. "This seat represents our commitment to exceeding expectations and shaping the future of luxury flight."
Beginning in 2026, ANA will gradually introduce "THE Room FX" private seats on major long-haul international routes. This rollout, alongside the current "THE Room" seats, will offer passengers elevated levels of comfort and space.
"At Safran Seats, we are proud to deepen our long-standing partnership with ANA through the launch of 'THE Room FX'," said Victoria Foy, President & CEO of Safran Seats. "This new business class seat represents a step-change in comfort, versatility, and innovative design for the Boeing 787-9. By combining our engineering expertise with ANA's commitment to passenger excellence and Acumen's creative vision, we are setting new benchmarks in the world of premium air travel."
"'THE Room FX' project is a result of a profound long-standing partnership between ANA, Acumen and Safran - shaped by years of trust, creativity and innovation," said Ian Dryburgh, CEO and Founder of Acumen. "Building on the success and DNA of the 'The Room' B777, this next-generation suite elevates the flying experience with a rare balance of comfort, flexibility and elegant engineering. This is a refreshingly original and market leading Business Class product that we believe will exceed passengers' expectations for many years to come."
