Ten of Air China's Airbus A350 aircraft will soon be taking off with Recaro's most successful, individually configurable Recaro seats. The People's Republic of China's national airline has ordered 2,500 units of the CL3710 seats from the aircraft seat manufacturer headquartered in Schwaebisch Hall.

In addition to the BL3510, which Air China uses in the economy class of its Airbus A320 and Boeing B737 aircraft, the airline has also deployed the CL6510 seat from Recaro Aircraft Seating in the past. The business class seat was always used when additional comfort was called for: for example, as a VIP seat in the state airline's aircraft. "For Air China -- China's National Flagship Carrier -- it was important in the modern wide-body aircraft, the A350, to fly an equally modern economy class seat. With the CL3710, the airline has now selected the most advanced, most lightweight and most comfortable seat currently available on the market," explains René Lux, Vice President Sales Asia-Pacific.

A Magnificent Seat

The CL3710 was the first seat to be developed modularly to best meet individual customer requirements. The economy seat stands out with its design, functionality and innovation - no less than 18 applications were filed for patent in the context of product development alone. It is now one of the most successful seats in Recaro Aircraft Seating's portfolio. In February 2016, it was honored with the "German Design Award" in Gold - to name just one of the many awards it has received.
