UTair Aviation and B/E Aerospace have signed a deal for the delivery of Pinnacle passenger seats for the interior of the airline’s Airbus A320 and Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
Pinnacle seats are next generation seats featuring modern ergonomic design to raise the level of comfort for passengers, making long-haul flights more pleasant. Constructed using ultramodern composite materials, the seats weigh 15% less than other models in their size category. This feature alone decreases total weight of aircraft and improves overall operational efficiency.
All 20 of the new 20 Airbus aircraft to be delivered to UTair in the third quarter of 2013 and the 40 Boeing 737-800 aircraft that will enter the UTair fleet in the coming years will be equipped with Pinnacle seats. Pinnacle seats will also be installed in UTair’s current fleet of Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
B/E Aerospace will also equip the new UTair aircraft with modern galley equipment, including new microwave ovens, water heaters and coffee machines.
