• Aircraft: on new Boeing 787-10, 25 B777-300/ERs to be retrofitted
• Inaugural Flight: Seoul to Tokyo on July 23, 2024

Korean Air has unveiled its new Business Class suites, named Prestige Suites 2.0. Scheduled to debut on its Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner on July 23, these suites are designed to offer enhanced privacy and advanced high-tech features.

Each suite features high walls and sliding doors for enhanced privacy. This is the first time Korean Air has opted for a fully private suite in Business Class. The suites also offer compartments for personal items, AC and 60W USB-C power outlets, wireless charging, and a 23.8-inch (60 cm) 4K video screen. 

Prestige Suites 2.0 Cabin

• 1-2-1 cabin configuration
• Seat: 117 cm pitch, 53 cm of width, 198-201 cm long bed

The seats, arranged in a staggered 1-2-1 layout, offer 46 inches (117 cm) of pitch, are 53 cm wide, and can be converted into fully flat beds up to 2 meters long. Fast Wi-Fi will finally be available on the B787-10.

Moreover, every second row features middle seats, as stated by the airline in a ‘honeymoon mode,’ allowing partners to lower the divider and enjoy the journey together.

Korean Air Premium Economy Cabin

While the B787-10 will not feature the new Premium Economy seats, these are expected to debut on the refurbished Boeing 777-300/ERs. 

Korean Air Chairman and CEO Walter Cho has hinted that the B777s might also see a larger Business Class cabin at the expense of First Class, as reported by Executive Traveller.

Korean Air has opted for a low-key rollout of this new product, quietly updating its website rather than issuing a press release.

It has 20 Boeing 787-10s currently on order, and 25 B777-300/ERs set to be retrofitted, both models will feature the new Prestige Suites 2.0.
