Air France’s new La Première suites take to the skies for the first time to Singapore

SINGAPORE, July 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As of 15 July 2025, Air France is offering its new La Première suites on its daily flight between Singapore Changi airport and Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport. The Boeing 777-300ER used on this flight now features the airline’s highest standards of comfort in all travel cabins. On board, it is equipped with 4 new La Première suites, as well as 60 seats in Business, 44 in Premium and 204 latest-generation Economy seats.

After New York JFK, Singapore is the second destination to operate a newly retrofitted aircraft equipped with the new La Première suites. 

Gradually rolled out on a selection of Boeing 777-300ERs, the new La Première cabin will be available on flights to Los Angeles during the 2025 summer season and Tokyo-Haneda in during the 2025/2026 winter season. In the future, Air France plans to deploy this new product on a greater number of aircraft and to more destinations.

La Première is currently available on departure from Paris-Charles de Gaulle to Abidjan, Dubai, Los Angeles, Miami, New York-JFK, San Francisco, Sao Paulo, Singapore, Tokyo-Haneda and Washington DC.

La Première, the highest expression of travel 

Air France’s new La Première suite features five windows and a one-of-a-kind concept. Entirely modular, it consists of a seat and a chaise longue that converts into a true bed. The seat can be adapted to every moment of the flight, during take-off, landing, mealtime or simply to relax. Featuring soft ergonomic seat foam, it adjusts each passenger’s body for maximum comfort. In front of the seat, a chaise longue allows passengers to rest in their preferred position and stretch their legs while sitting down to read or watch a film. And for a perfect night’s sleep, the chaise longue simply unfolds to become a true bed measuring two meters in length. The four suites available on board each feature a thick curtain for total privacy from floor to ceiling, providing a cozy atmosphere.

Each guest has access to two 32-inch 4K anti-glare screens, allowing them to enjoy over 1,500 hours of entertainment in optimum conditions from their seat, chaise longue or bed. Passengers are also provided with a set of noise-reducing headphones, as well as the option to pair their own headphones or earphones to the screens via Bluetooth. Each suite is also equipped with 110V/220V, USB A and USB C power sockets, as well as induction charging slots and a smartphone or tablet holder, so guests can use their own personal devices. The suite is intuitively controlled from a wireless touchscreen tablet. By touching the tablet screen, guests can adjust the seat recline, chaise longue or bed, as well as the various lighting options and window blinds. Navigating all the cabin’s functionalities is also made easy by using the two screens available.

With a vast airport lounge, a private suite on board, fine dining created by Michelin-starred chefs, a carefully selected wine and champagne list and a peaceful night’s sleep at 35,000 feet, every moment of the La Première travel experience has been carefully curated to make for an unforgettable trip.

Comfort and elegance in Business 

As with every new product introduced on its aircraft, Air France is redesigning all its travel cabins to offer the airline’s highest standards in every class.

In Business, the 60 spacious seats recline to become fully flat beds almost two meters long, with direct aisle access. A sliding door means all customers have their own private space, secluded from the rest of the cabin. When travelling with a companion, the seats in the middle of the cabin are equipped with a central partition that can easily be lowered, providing plenty of space to enjoy the journey together. The seat also features a large, anti-glare 4K High-Definition screen, noise-reducing headphones, a Bluetooth connection for personal headphones, and several electric sockets.

As passengers take their seat, they are greeted by a backlit winged seahorse, the symbol that embodies the airline’s rich history. Inside the seat, the upholstery gives a feeling of comfort and privacy. Made from wool, brushed aluminium and full-grain French leather, Air France has opted for premium, soft and natural materials. Each seat is embroidered with the airline’s trademark red accent symbol.

Beginning in July 2025, Air France will gradually introduce new mattress pad for every Business seat on all long-haul flights. To design this mattress pad, Air France has teamed up with Sofitel MY BED, Sofitel’s top-of-the-line bedding collection that has been unanimously recognized for its expertise and outstanding comfort.

With meals concocted by Michelin-starred chefs, carefully selected wines and champagnes and a restful night’s sleep, travel in the Business cabin offers an exceptional experience.

Comfort and technology in the Premium and Economy cabins

The Premium cabin is equipped with 44 recliner seats. The backrest reclines up to 121 degrees and has been further widened to offer greater privacy and comfort. The seat back foam has been redesigned and now extends up to shoulder level for optimum comfort. The seats are upholstered in a navy-blue herringbone fabric with a specially refined finish. The 4-position headrest can be adjusted to suit everyone. A noise-reducing audio headset, plenty of storage space, an individual reading light and USB-A and USB-C ports complete the package. In the Premium cabin and from Paris-Charles de Gaulle the one-starred chef Frédéric Simonin continues to delight Air France customers as part of an on-going partnership initiated with the company in 2023. A perfectionist at heart, he has created a new series of dishes prepared with the greatest respect for the products chosen.

The Economy cabin offers 204 reclinable seats with a wide 46 cm seat pan. The backrest is ergonomically designed with cushions offering reinforced lateral support. The seat is equipped with a personal smartphone or tablet holder integrated into the backrest, as well as a USB-A and USB-C port. Customers who desire additional legroom and a seat that reclines further back can select a new paid seat option called “Economy Comfort”. Located at the front of the Economy cabin, Economy Comfort seats are being rolled out on all the airline’s long-haul flights. As part of the airline’s commitment to more responsible catering, the meat, poultry, dairy products and eggs on each menu are of French origin, and the fish sourced from sustainable or French fisheries from Paris-Charles de Gaulle. Vegetarian options are also systematically available in all cabins.

In Premium and Economy, the cabins feature large 13.3-inch anti-glare 4K screens equipped with a Bluetooth connection. Customers can enjoy on-demand entertainment programs with their own headphones. They can thereby connect their own personal device to the on-board screen to use it as a remote control or to browse through the entertainment catalog, in addition to being able to use the main screen.

Avoiding obvious mistakes: Octa broker breaks down security tools in trading


KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 July 2025 – There are multiple risk factors in trading, and navigating them requires patience and experience. To alleviate that pressure, modern trading platforms offer some highly practical tools that help to manage risks and avoid losses. Unfortunately, many traders are either unaware of these tools or have got used to trading without them. In this article, the experts at Octa, a globally regulated and trusted broker since 2011, break down some noteworthy features that seasoned traders use to mitigate the risks and improve their outcomes.

Octa Broker

Common challenges
Trading can be a very intense experience. Each trade puts knowledge and skills to the test, creating a decisive stress factor. It’s like taking an exam with a limited time over and over, but the test questions and conditions are different each time.

Octa leverages its extensive market experience to offer transparent trading conditions and fast, reliable withdrawals. The broker’s trustworthiness and transparency reduce the cognitive load involved in trading and allow traders to fully concentrate on their performance.

The tools at hand
Any trader strives to get additional income with each session, and the high significance of financial outcomes can get on their nerves. Luckily, modern trading platforms have a few simple yet efficient tools that help to automate the routine and improve outcomes.

To simplify the trading process, Octa broker creates a reliable, secure trading environment and introduces accessible and efficient features to its platform. Below are some of the tools any trader should consider to achieve more consistent results.

  1. Stop loss and take profit

Stop-loss and take-profit orders are by far the most popular and accessible risk management tools in trading. These tools automatically close a position once it hits a predefined mark, either cutting losses or locking in gains—just as their names suggest.

Most trading tutorials emphasise the importance of regularly using these orders as part of the risk management routine. However, Octa broker’s survey showed that between 29% and 35% of traders apply risk management tools only when attempting a hazardous trade. In most cases, they trust their trading intuition to exit the trade on time. Unfortunately, this approach is risky and can cause significant losses. Remember, risk management tools are there to be used.

  1. Trailing stop and break even

These tools allow traders to set up dynamic, market-sensitive exit points to secure the gains already made in a trade. While a standard stop-loss order is static and usually applied at the initial stage of a trade, trailing stop automatically adjusts the exit level as the market price moves in the trader’s favour, protecting profits while giving the trade room to run.

Similarly, a break-even order moves the stop-loss level to the trade’s entry price (or slightly above or below to cover commissions or fees) once the price has moved a predetermined amount in the trader’s favour, thereby eliminating the risk of financial loss on that particular trade.

These tools automatically close the position at a certain price level to protect profits, allowing traders to set up a dynamic, market-sensitive stop-loss order. While a standard stop-loss order is static, both trailing stop and break-even orders follow the price as long as it moves in favour of the open position.

Octa broker highly recommends these intuitive and flexible tools available on the broker’s proprietary platform. They offer greater control over open positions, reduce stress, and enhance resilience in unpredictable market conditions.

  1. Notifications and calculators

However basic, math in trading is always present as a hidden but instrumental mechanism, and a solid understanding of it remains crucial. Modern trading platforms offer dedicated features to automate calculations and reduce cognitive load.

For example, position sizing algorithms and automated margin calculators help traders maintain the needed level of exposure. They take into account the user’s current equity amount and desired risk tolerance. An automated tool can calculate how many lots to trade within a specific currency pair so that no more than 1% of the account balance is at risk on any single trade. Maintaining this disciplined and detail-focused approach manually would be very cumbersome, but luckily, the appropriate tools can streamline the process.

On the other hand, automated alert systems provide a psychological safety net for emotional traders who are prone to anxiety. These systems monitor charts around the clock and notify traders when specific setups or market conditions emerge. Instead of staring at screens for hours, traders who use such tools can focus on strategy refinement or other analyses, knowing they won’t miss critical entry or exit opportunities.

Modern risk-management tools allow for easier and less nerve-wracking sessions while improving overall outcomes. Brokers that wield technology and offer their clients the most accessible, up-to-date solutions create a link of trust and understanding that helps both brokers and traders reach their respective goals. With this in mind, Octa broker recommends choosing a trusted and proven broker, rather than one that simply makes the most promises.

MindHYVE.ai™ and AI Future Lab Announce Strategic Partnership to Deploy ArthurAI™, the World’s First Truly Agentic Education Platform, Across South Asia and MENA

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. and ISLAMABAD, July 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MindHYVE.ai™, one of the fastest-growing artificial intelligence technology companies in the world, has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with AI Future Lab (Pvt) Ltd, a nonprofit organization based in Pakistan focused on democratizing education through technology across South Asia and the Middle East.

At the center of this partnership is the deployment of ArthurAI™, a next-generation educational platform built on Ava-Education™, MindHYVE’s proprietary domain-specialized large reasoning model. ArthurAI™ is not a conventional learning management system. It is an agentic AI platform where the Arthur agent exercises cognitive agency to understand, adapt to, and guide each learner toward their educational goals, autonomously and in real time.

This represents the first full-scale deployment of an agentic education system capable of executing intentional pedagogical decisions without dependence on user prompting or static instruction sets. ArthurAI™ actively learns from each student’s behavioral signals, performance data, and linguistic patterns to deliver a uniquely personalized learning trajectory that adjusts continuously based on the learner’s evolving context.

Deployment Overview

Under the terms of the agreement, MindHYVE.ai and AI Future Lab will implement ArthurAI™ in multiple countries across South Asia and the MENA region, with localized delivery in Urdu, Arabic, Swahili, Bengali, and Persian. The deployment includes two major educational initiatives:

1. AI Graduation Program for Educators (Launching Q4 2025)
Educators in Pakistan, Kenya, and select MENA countries will receive structured training on how to co-navigate learning environments with the Arthur agent. The training modules will be delivered through agentic interfaces tailored to local pedagogical practices, languages, and curricula.

2. Youth AI Capacity Program
Designed for youth aged 15 to 30 in underserved and rural regions including areas such as Muzaffarabad. The program will offer foundational AI literacy, no-code development skills, and digital career fluency. The pilot phase targets 250 to 500 participants, with future scaling planned based on regional performance metrics and community feedback.

Executive Commentary

“This initiative goes beyond personalization, it operationalizes intelligence,” said Bill Faruki, Founder and CEO of MindHYVE.ai™. “ArthurAI™, powered by Ava-Education™, demonstrates what is possible when true agency is embedded in a learning system. This partnership is not simply about deploying software. It’s about deploying opportunity, equity, and systemic access to cognitive infrastructure”.

Qasir Rafiq, Founder and CEO of AI Future Lab, added, “This is the first time our communities will be served by an AI platform that doesn’t just respond to students, it advocates for them. ArthurAI™ gives our educators and youth a tool that thinks, adapts, and guides with intention.”

About ArthurAI™ and Ava-Education™

ArthurAI™ is the world’s first education platform built entirely on agentic AI principles. It is powered by Ava-Education™, a proprietary large reasoning model developed by MindHYVE.ai™. The model is trained across diverse instructional scenarios, pedagogical frameworks, and cultural contexts to deliver adaptive, multilingual, and purpose-driven learning at scale.

Unlike generative AI LMS platforms that deliver content reactively, ArthurAI™ exhibits full agentic behavior, autonomously planning instructional trajectories, prioritizing learning objectives, and making context-specific decisions to optimize student outcomes. It represents a fundamental evolution in how AI is applied to human learning systems.

About MindHYVE.ai™

MindHYVE.ai™ is a global artificial intelligence company specializing in agentic systems and autonomous cognitive architectures. The company’s technology stack is powered by Ava-Fusion™, a large reasoning model that orchestrates intelligent agents across law, healthcare, finance, education, and public sector governance. With its proprietary agent frameworks and swarm intelligence infrastructure, MindHYVE.ai™ is transforming how intelligence is deployed across real-world industries.
