Virgin Atlantic released more details about reworking the interiors of its four Airbus A330-200 aircraft after acquiring bankrupt carrier airberlin earlier this year.

The planes are leased in order to “provide extra resilience in light of the global industry shortage of Trent 1000 engines,” impacting Virgin’s fleet of Boeing 787 aircraft.

The planes came in a two-class economy- and business-class layout, but Virgin will add a premium-economy cabin starting in November. It will have a total of 35 seats offering 38 inches of seat pitch.

Virgin will also change the economy offerings, which “will also see additional touches of our famous style throughout the cabin,” with new leather headrests, refreshed bathrooms and “stylish mood lighting and wall finishes.” The airline will also change the Upper Class area with a “sleek new makeover.”

Daniel Kerzner, vice president of customer experience, said, “Earlier this year, we acquired A330-200s to maintain our flying programme and were committed to refurbishing these aircraft to our high standards. We quickly gathered insights from our customers that have influenced the exciting product we’re launching later this year. In only a few months we’ve been able to source, design and manufacture new cabin interiors, which is a true testament to our teams and their focus on giving our customers a truly Virgin Atlantic experience. When life gives you lemons, we say, make sparkling lemonade!”
