Jet2.com Acro Aircraft seating

Jet2.com and tour operator Jet2holidays have chosen the new Series 9 fixed back seat from Acro Aircraft Seating to be installed on board their fleet of new Airbus A321/A320neo aircraft.

According to Acro, the high-profile contract was awarded to the company after extensive international competition and will see Jet2.com become the first customer for the recently launched lightweight and robust Series 9 product.

The seats combine creatively comfortable design with increased living space, such as extra leg room and space under the seat and are designed for both single and twin aisle. Neil Cairns, Acro’s CEO commented: “We’re obviously delighted at this early recognition for the exceptional attributes of Series 9, not least because the endorsement comes from an industry leader which shares our determination to provide optimum comfort and maximum living space even in today’s high-density cabins.

“The Series 9 is the product of the inspired design and relentless innovation which go hand-in-hand at Acro, and our fresh thinking is firmly focused on delivering quantifiable benefits to our customers. The light weight of the sleek new Series 9 is an obvious advantage, but we have combined that with ultra-robust construction and low part count designed to reduce maintenance and facilitate quick turnaround sanitizing. The elegant contemporary lines of the Series 9 add to visual appeal while its space-creating comfort levels heighten passenger satisfaction. Once installed, we are confident that the Series 9 will support Jet2.com and Jet2holidays in its commitment to ‘create a VIP experience’ for its passengers.”

Philip Meeson, Executive Chairman of Jet2 plc, said: “We are extremely proud of the award-winning customer experience that we deliver, and the comfort that we provide customers on board our aircraft is critical to that. The lightweight, durable and comfortable Acro Series 9 seating will enable us to continue differentiating ourselves from the competition whilst providing fantastic comfort, more leg room and added space under the seat too. We know this seating will be enormously popular with customers travelling with us on their well-deserved holidays.

“Our brand-new Airbus A321 Neo aircraft are the most efficient and environmentally friendly aircraft in their class today, and the weight savings provided by this seating will make these aircraft even more efficient. A stable supplier base with trusted partners such as Acro Aircraft Seating is key in ensuring that we offer our customers a fantastic flight or holiday experience, and we look forward to reinforcing our longstanding business partnership with them.”
