... nice website...got this as a take-away...
The optimised cabin layout based on the ‘cabin enablers’ presented at Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX), allows up to 80 additional seats* with no compromise on comfort: redesigned stairs (a ladder), a combined crew-rest compartment (you get to sleep conjoined to your steward), sidewall stowage removal (since PCs are verboten ), a new 9-abreast seat configuration in premium economy and 11-abreast (fat pax get two but must share knees if needed) in economy.

Mate you and I and everyone else in the ME Knows that, however:
Those that must have the biggest, newest, blingiest, fastest whatever are still involved in a Willy waving exercise with the other contenders, in the race to the bottom. The sky taxis being the next joke in Dubai.

You don't get shares. You don't get pay rises so why do you care? The fleet that best serves staff travel gets my vote. And that little twin can't fill it's seats and fly far enough away from the sand to where I wanna go.
I am however an advocate for the Boeing doing more flying. So let's hope this new folding wing one works a bit better.
