SmartLynx Airlines has invested over 6 mn EUR to enhance cabin interiors and adjust maintenance processes including the acquisition of Recaro seats, premium carpets, and seat covers for the Airbus A320/A321 fleet to be completed by end 2024.
SmartLynx Airlines, a leading European ACMI provider in the Avia Solutions Group, has recently invested over 6 million EUR to enhance cabin interiors and adjust maintenance processes in order to offer a superior customer experience. They include the acquisition of Recaro seats, premium carpets, and seat covers and a whole range of investments in upgrading the cabin experience. Additionally, SmartLynx has bolstered its technical team with extra staff, including more specialists in cabin maintenance tasks.
One of the main investments includes the purchase of Recaro seats for the Airbus A320/A321 family of aircraft. Installation of these seats began in 2024 and is planned to be completed by the end of 2024. This is being done because Recaro seats are considered one of the best for durability, seat cover upgrades, and general quality, with designs and materials that are fresh and ergonomic.“Cabin experience plays a crucial role in ensuring client satisfaction. Investing in cabin improvements reflects our commitment to enhancing our clients’ comfort. As pioneers in the ACMI industry, our objective is to continuously elevate our product standards, setting new benchmarks within the industry,” said Edvinas Demenius, CEO, SmartLynx Airlines.
Apart from Recaro seats, SmartLynx has budgeted over 1 million EUR for replacing regular seats and upgrading seat cover selections across other types of aircraft. It plans to get all these work done in order to elevate the state of their cabins and change any of the damages there. The company has also elevated the frequency of carpet replacement so as to give the passengers the much-needed comfort.
Another way SmartLynx is improving its cabin maintenance process is through the hiring of two dedicated Cabin Maintenance Engineers at the MCC center. The specialist shall help effectively solve open problems encountered in cabin defects and other defects. Also, they have just brought on board a Cabin Materials Specialist, who will take charge of managing the cabin reconfiguration spares and defect rectification materials.
SmartLynx Airlines aims to further invest in cabin maintenance and digital process enhancements aimed at benefiting clients, their customers, and the crew throughout 2024. Their Product Strategy aims at the elevation of ACMI standards and delivering superior products to clients and end-users. In 1992, SmartLynx Airlines was founded as a full-service aircraft leasing, freight, and charter services provider to leading airlines worldwide.
