Embraer and Recaro Aircraft Seating have recently announced a partnership aimed at developing a Supplier Furnished Equipment (SFE) catalogue of seats for E1 and E2 aircraft. This collaboration will feature Recaro’s popular BL3710 and SL3710 economy class seats, which will be made available for both linefit and retrofit configurations. The development of the SFE catalogue is scheduled to commence in the third quarter of 2023, with the seats becoming eligible for offers by mid-2024. One of the key advantages of the catalogue is its pre-certified seats, allowing airlines and lessors with short lead times to benefit from quick turnaround times.
Dr. Mark Hiller, CEO, Recaro Aircraft Seating and Recaro Holding said, “Embraer choosing Recaro to provide seats for the catalogue is a nod to our strong partnership and how well our high-quality products work together to elevate the passenger experience. Our entrance into the regional jet market has generated great feedback and our seats now being featured in an SFE catalogue will help us take our customer support to the next level.”
