Air China has made gold-standard improvements to its fleet and raised the bar for customer services, to give its passengers the best possible experience during the Olympic Games.
Air China’s move to Terminal 3, together with other Star Alliance carriers, was the first stage in a new era for the airline. Since then Air China has invested RMB 688 million in revamping its luxury cabins of 15 of its long-haul jumbo jets. Now, the new First Class and Business Class cabins, which are aptly named Forbidden Pavilion and Capitol Pavilion, have become firm favorites with executive travelers.
Air China has also invested RMB 568 million in equipment geared towards the Olympics and Paralympics, including over 1,000 ramp vehicles, and 100 in-flight narrow wheelchairs and 120 ordinary ones. The investment has made Air China the country’s only carrier equipped with wheelchairs on board.
Air China has also given its staff Olympic standard training to ensure optimum in-flight service. Over 8,000 staff have attended training programs and workshops to improve English proficiency, etiquette, and wheelchair and occupational skills.
Olympic athletes and officials will have the best possible service during the Games, four ticketing counters and eight check-in counters at the Olympics village will guarantee that whether you are an Olympic sprinter, or weightlifter, you will never miss your flight!
