FTE explores what the aircraft cabin of 2025 could look like and what challenges must be overcome in order to make it a reality.

The refitted Boeing 777-300ER features Virgin Australia’s new-look business class, premium economy and Economy Space + products.

Airbus, Zodiac Aerospace and the ZAL TechCenter highlight a shift in mindset and offer insight into the aircraft cabin of the future.

Larger overhead storage bins, spacious lavatories, wider seats and aisles, and unobstructed under-seat foot space feature in Airbus’ new cabin design.
