IndiGo has selected the BL3710 from Recaro Aircraft Seating (Recaro) as the passenger seat for its brand-new A320neo and A321neo aircraft. The low-cost carrier is the first Indian airline customer for the BL3710.
The new seats will be installed from January 2023 onwards, in 75 aircraft. Comfortable seats will be key to upgrading the customer experience onboard IndiGo as the airline expands its network, domestically and internationally, to cater to the travel demand, said Sanjay Kumar, Chief Strategy & Revenue Officer of IndiGo.
“Our new partnership with IndiGo demonstrates our commitment to not only building a distinct product with a sustainable lifecycle, but also our comprehensive approach to customer service. The BL3710 is an excellent product that will serve both IndiGo and its passengers for many years,” said Dr Mark Hiller, CEO at Recaro Aircraft Seating.
The BL3710 features a six-way adjustable headrest with integrated neck support, and the tray-table can be folded out even when the tablet holder is in use. Recaro created the BL3710 specifically for short and medium-haul flights and has received Red Dot Design and iF Design Awards.
The BL3710’s combination of ergonomic design and weight of less than 10kg per pax has made it a bestseller since market entry in 2019.
