The order of nearly 24,000 Recaro CL3710 and CL3810 economy class seats will be equipped on nearly 100 SWISS A330-300 and Lufthansa B747-8 aircraft.
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.
“We are looking back on 50 years of partnership with Lufthansa, and it’s a tremendous honor to still be working alongside them to optimize the passenger journey,” said Dr. Mark Hiller, CEO at Recaro Aircraft Seating and Recaro Holding. “Our aligned goals for sustainable, comfortable seating solutions has garnered great success for both Recaro and Lufthansa, and I am confident that our CL3710 and CL3810 seats will carry on this tradition of excellence,” he further added.
Dressed with Lufthansa’s signature colors, the modular design of the CL3710 minimizes maintenance and keeps total cost of ownership low. The seat has a six-way adjustable headrest with neck support that enhances sleeping comfort for the passenger, and the seat’s amenity flap is built to store personal smart devices for added convenience.
