2nd International Conference Innovative Aircraft Seating

With rising fuel prices looming on the horizon, airlines cannot afford to miss out on the opportunity to reduce costs by further minimizing the weight of their interior design. Less carbon consumption and a further range with an increased passenger payload are the major motivators driving innovations in seating design.

At the same time, airlines need to have a distinct cabin interior design in order to bind customers and to comply with their demands for comfort and safety: Enhanced and innovative solutions for seating comfort and functionality, ambience and entertainment are an absolute must-have for OEMs, airlines and suppliers.
