Malaysia Airlines has taken delivery of the first of 20 Airbus A330-900s, configured with a two-class, 297-seat layout, featuring 28 business-class suites and an all-new economy cabin. The airline will deploy the aircraft on routes across Asia and the Pacific, as well as on selected routes to the Middle East.
The A330-900 interior includes eight bespoke galley monuments, five stowages, and a self-service counter for business class, all supplied by Bucher, the Swiss aircraft interiors supplier.
As the chosen Buyer Furnished Equipment (BFE) partner for the aircraft, Bucher co-designed, engineered and manufactured the cabin hardware, and worked to simplify the integration of various branding elements, including the electrical connections and fixation inserts, to ensure a seamless integration process.
Bucher has long worked with aluminium to ensure its galleys are lightweight and durable, and it has evolved its designs to incorporate advanced materials such as composite and carbon fibre.
