Finnair has selected RECARO Aircraft Seating for a cabin retrofit of 12 Embraer E190 aircraft with the RECARO R1 and R2 Economy Class seats.
“The renewal of our Embraer cabins speaks of our continuous drive to improve customer experience, and the seats by RECARO fit well into our design language, while also supporting our targets to reduce aircraft weight,” said Turkka Kuusisto, CEO, Finnair.
Cabins will feature a hybrid layout, with R2 in the first nine rows, typically used for Business Class and R1 in the rest of the cabin. The seats utilise high-quality materials and embody Finnair’s Nordic design language, creating a harmonious, fresh and inviting travel environment for customers. Additionally, the R2 will feature the RECARO high literature pocket with integrated tablet holder. Both the R1 and R2 were selected for their lightweight design, supporting Finnair’s sustainability initiatives.
“Our longstanding partnership with Finnair has aided in the development of an outstanding cabin for passengers,” said Mark Hiller, CEO of RECARO Aircraft Seating and RECARO Holding. “By leveraging innovative design and advanced ergonomic solutions, our R1 and R2 seats will ensure comfort and satisfaction for every passenger.”
