RECARO SL3710 set for first flight on HK Express A321neo

Recaro Aircraft Seating’s new SL3710 seat is set to take its first flight on an HK Express A321neo. The SL3710 seat’s maiden flight will take place in April 2023.

HK Express has completed its first-ever order of RECARO seats with a total seat order of more than 4,000 in preparation for the Hong Kong low-fare carrier’s upcoming retrofit. The lightest weight RECARO seats will be customised for HK Express’ fleet, featuring a custom-made artificial leather dress cover and advertising frame on the backrest.

“The SL3710 is a great fit for HK Express because of its lightweight structure and ergonomic design,” said Dr. Mark Hiller, CEO, Recaro Aircraft Seating and Recaro Holding. “Our strong relationship with the Cathay Pacific Group paved the way for this opportunity, and I am looking forward to this strong new partnership with HK Express.”
