The business class section of the A350 is furnished with thirty thirty-one CL6720 chairs and the Recaro PL3530 and CL3710, respectively, are completely furnished in the premium economy and economy cabins.
Iberia is the new business class seat’s debut client. Each CL6720 has sliding doors for added privacy, a 79-inch-long full-flat bed, abundant living space, and is set up in a honeymoon arrangement with electronic full-length privacy dividers for the center seats and direct aisle access. Each CL6720 is decorated in the distinctive Iberia colors and projects the seat number onto the cabin floor for additional convenience. Additionally, Recaro developed and manufactured the Front Row Monuments for the Iberia business class cabin internally.
“The CL6720 on Iberia’s A350 will take the business class experience to the next level, thanks to the seat’s comfort amenities and generous living space,” said Dr. Mark Hiller, CEO of Recaro Aircraft Seating and Recaro Holding. “Our partnership with Iberia has created a unique product that will serve passengers for many years to come while keeping carbon emissions and maintenance costs low,” he further added.
The CL6720, a Special Mention winner at the 2021 Focus Open Awards, was dubbed a “mini-suite in the sky” when it was first presented in 2020. The CL6720 is one of the lightest business-class chairs on the market thanks to its lightweight construction, which also supports Recaro and Iberia’s sustainability goals. Additionally, the CL6720 is made to allow people with limited mobility to enter and exit the seat in a dignified manner.
“Recaro has been a perfect partner in elevating our customers´ travel experience with greater privacy, comfort, warmth, and more space for personal items. A significant improvement in our on-board that our customers are already valuing very positively,” said Javier Sánchez-Prieto, CEO of Iberia.
Iberia, the national carrier of Spain and a member of the Iberia Group, was founded in Madrid in 1927. On its 156 aircraft fleet, the company transports 25 million passengers yearly between more than 130 destinations in 42 countries.
