Kosmo Suites 2.0 come fully equipped with sliding door for privacy taking premium customers’ comfort to a new level. The new first class seat is differentiated from the previous seat by its sliding door. The suites are open at the top, which creates pleasant atmosphere, while still being able to offer privacy.

The seat in the upright position is 24 inches wide. However when it is in fully flat bed-mode, the armrest slides down and increases seat width by 8 inches, which improves sleep quality.

In addition, it provides customers with their own wardrobe and sets delicate ambient lighting, while reducing noise of seat reclining, which creates high-class atmosphere.
