Shanghai Boeing Aviation Retrofit and Maintenance Engineering Co., Ltd. and British Virgin Atlantic announced the signing of a cabin modification agreement for the Boeing 787 fleet. The agreement marks a further deepening of the partnership established by the two companies since 2020. Shanghai Boeing will undertake a full cabin interior upgrade for Virgin Atlantic's 787-9 fleet. This cabin modification is based on a design package provided by Boeing and will be implemented in all Class 3 cabins. Specifically, the modified Virgin Atlantic 787-9 will introduce the Retreat Suite high-end product for the first time. The number of first class seats will increase from 31 to 44, the number of business class seats will increase from 35 to 56, and the number of economy class seats will be adjusted accordingly to 127 to better meet the growing market demand for high-end travel experiences. Cabin modifications are expected to begin in 2028 at Shanghai Boeing's new hangar at Pudong Airport and be completed by 2030.
