Saudi Upgrades its first B777 aircraft first class here is the glimpse

Saudia Technic, a subsidiary of Saudia Group, has initiated a project to enhance the First Suites of its Boeing 777 aircraft fleet, exclusively designated for long-haul and direct Saudia flights. The company has successfully upgraded the First Suites of aircraft HZ-AK37 with plans to upgrade the remaining nine aircraft of the same model in the near future.

This development is in line with the most current innovations and advancements in the field of aircraft maintenance, which are intended to improve operational quality and elevate the travel experience for passengers.

A cutting-edge workshop has been constructed at the business’s headquarters at King Abdulaziz International Airport, Jeddah, following the successful acquisition and approval of all required materials.

To support the smooth execution of the necessary modifications and assembly processes, our workshop is fully furnished with cutting-edge facilities and equipment. Inspections from regulatory agencies that handled the granting of necessary permissions were used to monitor the development.

The procedures involved altering the system for latching and operating the First Suite cabin doors by adding an additional latch and increasing the number of moving routes to allow smooth and steady door movement. In addition, a sophisticated, high-quality metal gear system was fitted horizontally to offset any potential impact produced by the door’s weight.

These technical steps have resulted in a reduction in overall aircraft weight and increased efficiency, both of which considerably contribute to lower operational costs.
