WestJet opts for Recaro

“Recaro impressed us with its intelligent design and fast delivery times,” said Tim Croyle, Executive Vice-President of WestJet. “Equipping the cabins of our new Boeing 787 Dreamliner and B737 MAX aircraft with these world-class seats, we are confident our guests will be impressed with the comfort and uncompromising quality of the CL3710 and BL3520 economy class seats and CL4710 business class seats.”

The CL3710 long-haul economy class seat sets new standards in terms of weight and comfort. At less than 12 kilograms, the CL3710 is one of the lightest products in its class. The ergonomic headrest can be adjusted in six different ways which perfectly adapts to passengers of different heights and statures while ensuring optimized neck support.

On short-haul routes, WestJet will be deploying Recaro seats throughout the entire B737 MAX cabins. The BL3520, which will be used in economy, is one of the most reliable seats in its class and stands out with its advanced lightweight design and exceptional passenger comfort.

The Canadian airline selected the CL4710 for its business class on short and medium-haul routes. The business class seat features a variety of stowage compartments for personal belongings. A leg rest, which can be adjusted in length and angle to adapt to the needs of individual passengers, contributes to superb comfort. The seats can also be equipped with state-of-the-art in-flight entertainment systems.

“We are extremely proud that WestJet is equipping its new aircraft with best in class Recaro seats for its long-haul flights as well as its short and medium-haul routes,” said Dr. Mark Hiller, Chief Executive Officer and Shareholder of Recaro Aircraft Seating. “We offer innovative, ergonomically designed seats for exceptionally comfortable travel in all classes.”
