Airbus has announced that carriers will be able to choose from a range of sleeper¹ compartment² configurations³ in the holds of A330 aircraft by 2020 -- and that it's also looking to offer this feature on the A350 XWB.

空客公司近日宣布，到2020年，航空公司将能从一系列带有不同卧铺配置的空客A330客机中进行选择。该公司还计划为A350 XWB客机上提供类似装置。

The sleeping modules⁴ have been designed by Airbus in partnership⁵ with Zodiac Aerospace⁶.

这种卧铺舱是由空客和法国卓达宇航集团合作设计的。

And the manufacture claims that the modules won't affect the aircraft's cargo⁷ floor or cargo loading system.

制造商称，这些卧铺舱将不会影响到飞机的货舱地板或货物装载系统。

Christophe Bernardini, Chief Executive Officer of Zodiac Aerospace Cabin Branch, said: 'We are delighted to work with Airbus on this new and innovative⁸ project. An improved passenger experience is today a key element of differentiation⁹ for airlines.'

卓达宇航集团客舱部门首席执行官克里斯多夫·贝尔纳迪尼表示：“我们很高兴与空中客车合作研发这一全新的创新项目。乘客体验的提升是当今航空公司差异化的关键因素。”

Geoff Pinner, head of Airbus Cabin & Cargo Program, said: "This approach to commercial air travel is a step change towards passenger comfort. We have already received very positive feedback from several airlines on our first mock-ups."

空客客舱和货运项目负责人杰夫·平纳称：“这种向商用空中旅行的尝试是向旅客舒适度作出一个改变。我们已从数家航空公司那里收到了对首批模型非常积极的反馈。”

He added: "The innovation builds on both Airbus' and Zodiac Aerospace's experience in producing and integrating lower-deck crew-rest facilities."

他还表示：“由于空客与卓达宇航公司有着生产和整合下层甲板机组成员休息设施的经验，这种创新的构造才得以实现。”
