Muirhead, a supplier of high-quality leather to airlines and seat manufacturers, has introduced an innovative concept for aircraft seat covers aimed at catering to neurodivergent passengers. The company’s new ‘Sensation’ collection is designed to provide a more inclusive and comfortable onboard experience for individuals with neurological or developmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder, learning impairments, or ADHD. This initiative underscores Muirhead’s commitment to fostering an inclusive cabin environment for all travellers.
To ensure the effectiveness of the design, Muirhead collaborated closely with Scottish disability consultancy VIA, conducted thorough research, and engaged directly with neurodivergent individuals who shared their experiences and challenges while travelling.
