The Recaro Aircraft Seating (Recaro), a global supplier of premium aircraft seats for airlines and OEMs has announced that the company’s CL3710 and CL3810 seats were selected by the Lufthansa Group, the flag carrier of Germany to outfit the economy class cabins of the airline’s commercial aircraft fleet. The order of nearly 24,000 Recaro CL3710 and CL3810 economy class seats will be equipped on nearly 100 Lufthansa and SWISS aircraft. Delivery of the first seats is slated for the Q4 of 2022. The Recaro Aircraft Seating’s CL3810 economy class seat will be retrofitted on both SWISS A330-300 and Lufthansa B747-8 aircraft.
Passengers, according to Recaro, will have the opportunity to enjoy the award-winning seat’s added living space and premium comfort cushions with layered foam and innovative ergonomic technology. The seat is 15% lighter in comparison to its predecessor, which can help airlines save thousands in fuel costs and optimize cabin performance. Both the Recaro seats were built with sustainability in focus and feature lightweight structures, which will reduce carbon emissions for the aircraft.
