China Airlines unveils all-new Premium Economy for incoming Boeing 787 fleet

China Airlines unveiled an all-new Premium Economy cabin on 2 June 2026 for its incoming Boeing 787 fleet. The product will be installed on 24 Dreamliners on order, comprising 18 787-9s and six 787-10s, with 28 seats arranged in a 2-3-2 layout.

The cabin uses Recaro R4 seats and is centered on a 15.6-inch 4K inflight entertainment screen at each seat. China Airlines also specified complimentary Wi-Fi, Bluetooth connectivity, porcela in tableware, two-toned blankets, slippers and noise-reducing headphones.

The airline has branded the cabin “Starlit Mountain City,” a design theme intended to reflect Taiwanese scenery and cultural motifs. The new product is distinct from China Airlines’ existing Premium Economy offering on the Boeing 777-300ER and some Airbus A350-900 aircraft.
