Avianca has revealed the design of the new seats for its Airbus A320 aircraft.

The airline is installing new seats in all classes on its A30 fleet used for short and medium-haul flight

The new seats from Recaro are being installed in Premium, Plus and Economy. They will reduce the weight per passenger by over 30% on each aircraft in addition to decreasing CO2 emissions per transported passenger by an average of 13%.

The new interior of the aircraft also includes Airbus’ SpaceFlex. This will allow Avianca to increase its seat capacity by 20%.

The Premium seat will be available from early 2022 and the first fully reconfigured aircraft should be in operation during Q2 2022. All 14,000 seats will be installed by the end of 2022.

Passengers should soon begin to see the Plus and Economy seats on flights within Colombia. The airline estimates that the first fully redesigned aircraft will be ready by the second quarter of 2022. All 14,000 seats on the A320 fleet will be complete by the end of 2022.
