Cathay Pacific Airways has decided to replace economy-class seats in long-haul planes following complaints from passengers about discomfort.
Under the plan, the existing coach seats with fixed-backs to prevent passengers from disturbing the person behind them when reclining, will be refitted and moved to short-haul and regional aircraft.
