Hong Kong's Cathay, Singapore Airlines go head-to-head in battle for wealthy customers

Quick Summary:

Competition among airlines for high-end customers is heating up in the region as Hong Kong flag carrier Cathay Pacific joins the fray, with analysts warning that patrons could face rising airfares despite the tussle for market share.

Aria-equipped 777s have a total of 361 seats, including 45 seats in business class where passengers can enjoy features such as a sliding privacy door, wireless charging and a 24-inch 4K screen with Bluetooth audio pairing.

In July, Qatar Airways announced to roll out redesigned business cabins called Qsuite Next Gen next year on board its Boeing B777-9 aircraft, equipped with movable 4K OLED screens, which it said was a first for any airline in the world.
