[新聞] 每排十座的經濟艙將在 A350 上更加普遍
10 Abreast Economy Will Become More Common On Airbus A350s

by Chris Loh
Last week at Airbus’ Innovation Days press event outside Toulouse, new chief
commercial officer Christian Scherer spoke of ongoing efforts to decrease the
discomfort of their A350s high-density configuration. The result: A very
comfortable 10-abreast seating configuration. That’s the story at least.
在上星期於土魯斯舉行的空中巴士創新日發表活動中，新任商務長 Christian Scherer
談到正不斷盡力去減少他們的 A350 高密度配置的不適感。結論是一個非常舒適的每排十
座配置。無論如何事情就是那樣。
According to Runway Girl Network, Scherer said the following in response to a
question about A350 capacity:
根據 Runway Girl Network ，Scherer 回應一個關於 A350 載客量問題時表示：
“With an enhanced cabin you can very comfortably go to 10-abreast seating in
economy class on this airplane for long-range flying, and therefore offer —
I use the adjective again, unmatched — capabilities to our airline
customers.”
有了更加大的客艙，你們就可以非常舒服的坐在每排十座的經濟艙上長途飛行，而且因為
這樣，提供了，我再次使用這個形容詞，無與倫比的載客量給我們的航空公司客戶。
It’s bad enough there’s talk about shrinking airplane toilets. This shift
and change in configuration options can only mean more discomfort for
passengers. With major carriers these days using 9-abreast configurations,
that extra seat space needs to come from somewhere. I guess some of it will
also come from the aisles too. So perhaps this means more elbow bumping on
your way to the lavatory.
講到縮小飛機上的廁所已經夠糟糕了。這個配置選項的辦法和改變可意謂乘客更不舒服了
。今日主要承運人使用每排九座配置，額外的座位空間需要從別處來。我猜一部份也會從
走道上來。所以或許這意謂著你前往廁所的路上會有更多的手肘碰撞。
Looking at SeatGuru’s “Long-Haul Economy Class Comparison Chart“, we can
see that the majority of airlines and aircraft have a seat width between 17
and 18 inches. For airlines using the A350, 18 inches seems to be the most
overwhelmingly common number with their 9-abreast configurations. We wrote an
article on the widest commercial airline economy seats last year – that’s
worth checking out!
看看 SeatGuru 上的長程經濟艙比較表格，我們可以看到主要航空公司和航空器擁有介於
十七至十八吋寬的座位。對於使用 A350 的航空公司，在他們每排九座配置上頭十八吋似
乎是壓倒性地普遍。我們去年寫了一篇文章關於去年度最寬的商業航空公司經濟艙座位，
值得看一看！
However, if you scroll through the chart you’ll notice that some airlines
and their A350s have seat widths of 16.5 inches. These airlines are Air
Caraibes and French bee, both leisure/charter airlines. As many aviation
blogs have already noted, their economy class sections are a high-density
10-abreast configuration, and it’s been like this for years. The blog One
Mile at a Time writes a little more in-depth about this.
不過，如果你滾動表格，你將會注意到一些航空公司和他們的 A350 有十六點五吋寬的座
位。這些航空公司為加勒比海航空和法國蜜蜂航空，都是休閒性包機航空公司。如同許多
航空部落格已經提到的，他們的經濟艙部分是高密度每排十座配置的，而且行之有年。
One Mile at a Time 部落格有寫了一篇關於此部分的報導。
However, if Christian Scherer is talking about 10-abreast seating at an “
Innovation Days” event, then we can only hope that they found innovative
ways to avoid a seat width that is less than 17 inches. Another nice idea
would be to use those same innovations to make seats even wider in a
9-abreast configuration… but perhaps that’s just too much to ask!
不過，如果 Christian Scherer 在創新日談到每排十座的話，那麼我們只能希望他們找到
創新的方法來避免座位寬度少於十七吋。另一個好的點子是使用相同的創意讓每排九座配
置更加寬敞。但這或許要求太多了。
While we can only hope that Airbus’ new designs have mercy on our hips and
bums, this can only be good news for airlines. A denser seating configuration
obviously means more passengers and therefore more available seats to sell.
雖然我們只能希望航空公司的新設計可以對我們的臀部仁慈一點，但這對航空公司來說是
好消息。一個更密集的座位配置明顯地意謂著更多的乘客，而且因此有更多座位可以賣。
This increase in economy seating would also make each flight more efficient
in terms of passengers carried. Therefore a denser configuration is better
overall for the environment… that’s something passengers can be happy
about, right?
以乘客角度來看，經濟艙座位增多也會讓每個航班更有效率。因此一個更密集的配置整體
來說對環境更好。這是乘客可以開新的事情，對吧？
This new configuration would put the Airbus A350 a tiny bit closer to the
777X in terms of capacity.
這個新配置將讓空中巴士 A350 在載客數方面更接近 777X 一點。
Perhaps the one and only direct benefit to passengers is the unlikely
possibility that this will make a flight cheaper. A more profitable flight
could lead to lower airfares, right? Hopefully? I’m always skeptical about
things like that so I’m not holding my breath.
The answer might be obvious but I’ll ask it anyways: Are you looking forward
to seeing 10-abreast seating on future A350 flights?
