RECARO AIRCRAFT SEATING CELEBRATES SCANDINAVIAN AIRLINES’ 80TH ANNIVERSARY WITH EXCLUSIVE RECARO GAMING NXT CHAIRS
Exclusive anniversary design commemorates eight decades of SAS connecting Scandinavia with the world
Founded in 1946, SAS will mark eight decades of connecting Scandinavia with the world this year and will celebrate with special activities and dedicated merchandise, including these one-of-a-kind gaming chairs, as part of the airline’s winder anniversary celebrations for employees. Created specifically for the occasion, the RECARO Nxt chairs feature a tailor-made SAS design that showcase the airline’s signature blue on the seat fabric, complemented by a premium SAS logo stitched onto the headrest. In addition, a subtle white SAS logo is printed on the back to complete the customized design.
The RECARO Nxt combines ergonomic design, premium materials, and a modern aesthetic. Its segmented backrest and advanced adjustment options are designed to provide lasting comfort, while premium upholstery provides a high-quality seating experience.
“We’ve always known that a good seat matters. While these 80 custom gaming chairs are intended for our employees, the high-speed internet now installed across the vast majority of our fleet means you can already game from your RECARO seat onboard! Just don't blame us for missing out on that nap,” says Paul Verhagen, CCO at SAS.
“I would like to congratulate our partners at SAS on 80 remarkable years in aviation,” said Dr. Mark Hiller, CEO and Shareholder of RECARO Aircraft Seating and CEO of RECARO Holding. “This anniversary is a testament to SAS’ enduring commitment to innovation, excellence, and connecting people across the globe. We are delighted to celebrate this milestone with SAS and to recognize our valued partnership with 80 customized RECARO Gaming Nxt chairs. We look forward to many more years of collaboration as we continue to elevate the passenger experience together.”
The anniversary initiative reflects the strong connection between RECARO and SAS through seating, design, comfort, and innovation. It also brings to mind a motto appreciated by RECARO: “A seat won’t change the world, but it can carry the people who do.”
