The seat adjusts to different phases of the flight: takeoff, landing, dining, or relaxation mode. With an embossed leather headrest featuring Air France's historic winged seahorse emblem and plush ergonomic padding, the seat adapts to each passenger's body for optimal comfort. A nearby console and table provide convenient space for working or dining.

Opposite the seat, the chaise longue offers the perfect place to stretch out while remaining seated, ideal for reading or watching a movie. For maximum comfort while sleeping, it extends seamlessly into a fully flat bed measuring two meters long and 75 centimeters wide. The new suite adapts to each passenger's rhythm and desires. Each one offers a private space totaling nearly 3.5 square meters, providing 25% more space compared to the current cabin. A cozy blanket and large cushions make this space an intimate cocoon.

Each suite is enclosed by a thick, floor-to-ceiling curtain for complete privacy and a peaceful ambiance. The side suites boast five windows, an Air France exclusive feature. Meanwhile, adjacent suites in the center of the cabin allow for shared travel while maintaining privacy thanks to a full-height, electric sliding partition that can be activated at the touch of a button.

The quintessence of elegance

Exclusively reserved for La Première guests, this cabin, located at the front of the aircraft, offers a completely private experience. Every detail has been meticulously designed. Only the finest materials, such as full-grain leather and plush wool, have been carefully selected for these new suites crafted in France by STELIA Aerospace. Its unique design was conceived by the company in association with the expertise of the Design Investment studio and the SGK Brandimage agency.

The cabin's design features a harmonious color palette dominated by shades of gray, with leather-trimmed finishes and exclusive fabrics created for La Première. Touches of red, reminiscent of haute couture, add character and distinction. Champagne-colored metallic accents enhance every detail, while the dark carpeting creates a sense of airiness and fluidity, giving the impression of suspension.

To create an unparalleled sense of space, overhead compartments have been replaced with floor-level storage. A large sliding drawer accommodates up to two carry-on suitcases, while a second drawer under the chaise longue provides space for footwear. A personal compartment with a backlit mirror is available near the seat for personal belongings, along with an individual wardrobe.

Light plays a central role in this exceptional setting. The five windows fill the space with natural brightness, creating a serene atmosphere. They feature electric translucent or blackout shades. The lighting system includes two lamps adorned with the signature Air France winged seahorse, available as both wall-mounted and floor-standing fixtures. Subtle ambient lighting accompanies each phase of the flight.

Onboard, cutting-edge technology enhances the travel experience. Each guest enjoys two 32-inch 4K screens, offering over 1,500 hours of entertainment accessible from the seat, chaise longue, or bed. Noise-canceling headphones are provided, and passengers can also connect their personal headphones via Bluetooth. The suite is equipped with 110V/220V electrical outlets, USB-A and USB-C ports, wireless charging stations, and dedicated holders for smartphones or tablets. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the journey. Soon, Air France will introduce a new ultra-high-speed connectivity service across its fleet, replacing the current offering and providing an at-home experience in the sky.*

The suite can be intuitively controlled via a wireless touchscreen tablet. With a simple touch, passengers can adjust the inclination of their seat, chaise longue, or bed, as well as the lighting and window shades. The tablet also allows easy navigation through all entertainment options.

Four suites will progressively be introduced on a selection of Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. The first aircraft to feature the new La Première cabin, named Épernay, will take off in the spring and fly to New York-JFK. Other destinations, including Los Angeles, Singapore, and Tokyo-Haneda, will be added during the summer 2025 season.

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

Introducing Vibe Testing for the Age of Infinite Code: As Agentic AI transforms software development, TestMu AI introduces autonomous agents to ensure quality keeps pace with infinite code, powering 1.5+ billion tests annually across 18,000+ enterprises.

SAN FRANCISCO and NOIDA, India, Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- LambdaTest, the AI-native, agentic quality engineering platform, today announced its rebrand to TestMu AI, marking a bold step forward in its evolution from a cloud testing platform to the world's first full-stack Agentic AI Quality Engineering platform.

The transformation addresses a critical inflection point in software development: as AI generates code at unprecedented rates, traditional testing creates a bottleneck. Quality Engineering teams need intelligent systems that can reason about change, observe failures, and adapt continuously.

As TestMu AI, the organization is expanding its platform to support the next generation of software builders, including 'vibe coders.' Their AI agents allow developers to 'vibe test' and move at the speed of thought, and ensure that vibe-coded apps are not only of high quality but are also reliable when they come in front of customers.

This shift reflects the company's average 110% year-on-year growth over the last 2 years. To date, the platform has executed billions of tests for 18,000+ enterprise customers, including Microsoft, OpenAI, NVIDIA, Vimeo, Dunlem across 90+ countries.

Founded in 2018, LambdaTest rapidly became one of the most trusted names in cloud-based test orchestration and execution. They built a scalable, high-performance test cloud that removed flakiness, improved developer feedback loops, and drastically accelerated release velocity.

In 2022, the company began a deep transformation, moving deep into agentic AI across its products and workflows to empower autonomous, intelligent quality engineering at scale. Today, TestMu AI's AI-Agentic unified platform powers end-to-end quality engineering for over 2.8 million developers and testers worldwide, helping teams ship faster and build with confidence.

"AI is fundamentally changing how software is built and shipped," said Asad Khan, CEO and Co-Founder of TestMu AI (Formerly LambdaTest). "Development cycles that once took weeks now take hours. But speed without quality is chaos. We recognized that testing needed to evolve from brittle, high-maintenance automations to intelligent context-driven agents that understand change and act on it autonomously. We have evolved from an execution cloud into an active, intelligent partner in the software testing lifecycle. With billions of tests running on our platform, we are now delivering experiences where human ingenuity and machine intelligence combine to make quality engineering effortlessly powerful."

TestMu AI has rearchitected its platform to be AI-native, deploying autonomous AI Agents to plan, author, execute, and analyze software quality with minimal manual intervention. The platform now delivers:

• Autonomous AI Agents for Testing: Plan, author, and evolve end-to-end tests using company-wide context or simple natural language prompts. Users can now test every layer of the database, API, UI, performance, and more.
• Agentic AI Test Cloud: A scalable and unified test execution cloud to run any type of test at any scale, including visual regression, accessibility, API, and performance testing, web and mobile, to custom enterprise environments.

The name 'TestMu' was adopted directly from its community. Since 2022, the TestMu Conference has served as the industry's primary forum for advancements in AI and quality engineering.

By adopting this name, the company is signaling that the community is the core of the organization, infusing the spirit of that open, collaborative conference into the platform itself.

"Our community recognized the spirit of TestMu long before this announcement," Khan added. "TestMu represents a thriving community, a shared craft, and the future of quality engineering."

The company was recently recognized in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for AI-Augmented Software Testing Tools report and in The Forrester Wave™: Autonomous Testing Platforms 2025 report.

"Our journey has mirrored the evolution of software testing itself," said Mudit Singh, Co-Founder and Head of Marketing, TestMu AI. "We began by building the 'Perfect Cloud for the Cloud Era,' solving pain points related to scalable infrastructure, and helped start the industry's one of the earliest conversations around AI in testing through the TestMu Conference. Today, we are entering a new phase, where agentic AI enables autonomous, end-to-end quality engineering. TestMu AI represents this shift: a forward-looking identity built for an AI-native future, while staying deeply rooted in our ecosystem, our community, and our relentless commitment to quality."

Looking ahead, TestMu AI's roadmap includes fully autonomous AI agents, agent-to-agent testing, evaluation of AI systems by AI agents, and deep integration with codebases and developer workflows, positioning quality engineering as a continuously learning, self-governing layer of modern software development.
