I do wonder however if this is the beginning of the end for NGCW with no new seats being manufactured in anticipation of a new design for the A350s and subsequent retro-fit when these latest 777-300s are due their D check.
They are still being manufactured for the 787 and A380, albeit in a slightly modified model. New colour and with the 2-3-2 sets.
