1) KLM
KLM’s first Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner was delivered one day late on June 29. The new airliner is named “Orange Bloesem” (Orange Blossom) and carries a special “100 Years” logo.
KLM has been operating the Delhi – Amsterdam flight for many years. KLM launched Mumbai -Amsterdam flights in 2017 after a gap of nearly 16 years. Currently, KLM operates Delhi-Amsterdam route daily and Mumbai – Amsterdam route three times a week with 787-9 aircraft. In the winter season of 2019, KLM has scheduled a mix of Boeing 777-200ER/777-300ER on the Delhi – Amsterdam route. It used to operate a Boeing 747 to Delhi. KLM’s 787-9 features Zodiac Cirrus reverse herringbone seats.
KLM will debut a new Business class seat onboard the new 787-10. On the 787-10, KLM will use Jamco’s Venture seats for their business class. Venture seats have an advanced high-density lighter design and angled “herringbone”. They are designed specifically for the Dreamliner.
An interesting design feature of the Venture seat is that it works with every available inch of the Dreamliner cabin and every curve of the sidewall to maximize comfort in its 1-2-1 configuration. It will have an 18.5-inch entertainment screen and also a “Do not disturb” button on the armrest, which passengers can turn on and off at will. The middle seats will also have a movable partition.
2) United Airlines
United new Boeing 787-10 entered service on Jan 7th 2019. Initially the new 787-10 is flying between Newark and Los Angeles and San Francisco (from Feb 14th).
There are 44 Business Class seats in the forward cabin on the United 787-10. The seats are the latest Polaris Business Class seat which offer direct aisle access and 180 degree fully flat bed.
Note the aisle seats are slightly angled towards the aisle. The window seats and center pair seats are straight facing.
3) Singapore Airlines
The refreshed cabin – including a new “regional” business class seat – were shown to the public for the first time on the company’s brand-new Boeing 787-10 aircraft. Singapore’s new interior for the 337-seat plane includes 36 lie-flat seats in business-class and 301 in economy.
The business-class seats on Singapore Airlines’ 787-10s convert into 76-inch long full-flat beds. The width of the seats comes in at 26 inches, though they’re about six inches narrower until the moveable arm rests are lowered to free up more space.

There’s no premium economy section in the carrier’s 787-10 configuration. The seats are arranged in a typical 3-3-3 layout, each with power options for customers’ devices.
Seatback entertainment screens for Singapore’s economy customers measure 11.6 inches and are full high-definition with touchscreen control. The updated 787-10 economy cabin has been done in a blue and gray colour scheme.
