British Airways introduces new First cabin in Mumbai

British Airways' new First service was recently introduced at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA) in Mumbai before departing to the airline’s 4.3 million pound Terminal 5 at London Heathrow. As per the company release, this was the first time that the airline's Indian customers were able to experience the new service in India. With stiff competition in the industry for premium passengers, the airline’s 100 million pound investment in its flagship brand is set to re-establish its position as a global premium airline. 
The new key features of the cabin include a 60 per cent wider bed at the shoulders; personal wardrobe; personal electronic blinds; a 15 inch in-flight entertainment screen; USB port, RCA jack and noise-cancelling headsets; fully integrated ambient and mood lighting; Anya Hindmarch wash bag and amenities by D.R. Harris & Co. and a leather-bound writing table.
Each individual suite has its own personal wardrobe, a leather-bound writing desk that converts into a dining table, a new 15 inch in-flight entertainment screen and a buddy seat to enable customers to dine together.  The lighting and electronic blinds can be modified to reflect mood and time of day. A seat control unit replaces the switches to activate the bed and give the customer precision control over the seat position and pneumatic panels to support the head and lumbar positions.
