United has introduced its Boeing 777-300ER aircraft on its route between Mumbai and New York/Newark. The aircraft replaces a Boeing 777-200ER on the once-daily service.
“Our customers from India will notice a real difference when they step on board our new 777-300ER aircraft,” said Harvinder Singh, United’s Country Manager India. “This plane features our new United Polaris seat, for an enhanced inflight experience. Deploying this new aircraft on our Mumbai-New York/Newark service underpins United’s commitment to the Indian market.”
The aircraft offers a modern, spacious interior envisioned in partnership with design firm PriestmanGoode, including the airline’s all-new United Polaris business class seat. Each United Polaris suite-like pod features direct access to the aisle, a 180-degree flat-bed that measures 6’6” and 23 inches wide with infinite seat recline options and one-touch lumbar support. The aircraft features 60 seats in business class in a 1-2-1 configuration with direct-aisle access from all seats.
It also features 102 seats in United Economy Plus in a 3-4-3 configuration with 34 inches of pitch, and 204 United Economy seats in a 3-4-3 configuration with 31 inches of pitch.
United has already placed into service 17 of the 18 aircraft in its first 777-300ER order.
