The first set of seats for LOT Polish Airlines\u2019 upcoming Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft \u2013 part of a thirteen-plane order arriving around the end of the year \u2013 has been completed at the Recaro factory in \u015awiebodzin.<\/p>\n

The airline has ordered R2 model reclining economy seats. The same seat model will also be fitted to LOT\u2019s new Airbus A220s, which the airline ordered at the Paris Air Show in June.<\/p>\n

Besides weight and comfort, the airline says that an added benefit is the fact that the seats are produced in Poland. Manufacturing in \u015awiebodzin directly supports local jobs and serves as a strong example of international collaboration with local impact.<\/p>\n

Micha\u0142 Fijo\u0142, CEO of LOT Polish Airlines said: “The interiors of the Boeing 737 MAX 8 fleet will be completely redesigned, drawing inspiration from LOT Polish Airlines\u2019 Polonez business lounges in Warsaw and Chicago. The goal is to create a unified look across the entire fleet, aligning the new design with the cabin style of the Boeing 787 Dreamliners \u2013 which are also set for a refit. This retrofit will take passenger comfort to an even higher level across all classes of service.<\/p>\n

Each seat weighs less than 10 kg \u2013 helping to reduce fuel consumption and lower CO\u2082 emissions. Their modular design facilitates easier maintenance and supports sustainable practices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
