Recaro to supply BL3510 spare pax for Philippine Airlines’ A320 retrofit

Recaro Aircraft Seating’s BL3510 economy class seat has been selected by Philippine Airlines for a retrofit of a number of Airbus A320 aircraft.

According to Recaro, delivery of the spare pax seats began this month. As a part of the Philippine-based airline’s fleet modification strategy, the overhaul involves the installation of a 180-seat cabin configuration on each of the 11 A320 aircraft that are destined for short-haul high-traffic domestic routes to be operated by the airline’s PAL express subsidiary.

The selected A320 aircraft were originally equipped with a mixed 156-seat configuration for Asian regional flights of the mainline carrier PAL, which now deploys larger Airbus A321 aircraft with business, premium and economy class seating on said regional routes.

Recaro says its BL3510 economy class seat is a reliable product designed for short-haul flights, and provides passengers with ideal ergonomic positioning for greater comfort.
