ANA business class: THE Room FX on 787-9
Safran Seats and Acumen have rolled out THE Room FX business class for ANA’s 787-9 fleet.
On October 10, 2025, Safran Seats and British design firm Acumen unveiled THE Room FX — a new business-class seat for All Nippon Airways (ANA, IATA: NH, ICAO: ANA) Boeing 787-9 aircraft. The launch targets improved ergonomics, heightened privacy and a refreshed cabin aesthetic aimed at frequent flyers and road-warrior business travelers.
What THE Room FX means for ANA business class
THE Room FX blends individual privacy shells with adjustable ergonomics and modern finishes. Safran Seats, known for specialty premium seating, and Acumen focused the design on real-world passenger needs: a better work/rest balance, intuitive controls, and more personal space within a 1-2-1 layout typical for long-haul twin-aisle configurations.
ANA plans to fit THE Room FX on its Boeing 787-9 narrowwide twinjet fleet for deployment on key international routes; the carriers’ announcement on October 10, 2025, framed the upgrade as part of a broader passenger-experience push. Specific route rollouts and retrofit schedules have not been disclosed by ANA or the suppliers.
- ANA business class: privacy shell, ergonomic recline, and direct-aisle access.
- Designer collaboration: Safran Seats (manufacturer) + Acumen (UK design partner).
- Aircraft type: Boeing 787-9 (operator: All Nippon Airways, ANA, IATA NH).
Passengers can expect details such as upgraded cushioning, enhanced storage, and cabin lighting tuned for sleep and productivity — features that matter on transpacific and long-haul Asian routes where the 787-9 commonly operates. The Room FX is pitched to compete with other contemporary business-class products by offering a quieter, more private personal space rather than purely larger flatbeds.
Until ANA (NH / ANA) confirms retrofit timelines and which flight numbers will first receive THE Room FX, travelers and mileage collectors should watch official carrier releases for rollout dates and booking updates. For now, the October 10, 2025 reveal signals another step in premium-cabin evolution driven by seat makers and specialist designers.
