SCHWAEBISCH HALL, HAMBURG, Germany. During the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg, Recaro has announced another success. The TAP Portugese airline will be equipping the cabin of its new Airbus long-haul A330-900neo aircraft exclusively with seats from Recaro. The order comprises more than 4,000 economy and business class seats. Delivery will begin in July 2017.

A total of 14 of the new A330-900neo aircraft will be delivered to TAP as very first operator. Its cabin will be equipped with three different seat models from Recaro Aircraft Seating beginning in July 2017: the CL3710 economy class seat in standard and premium versions, as well as the CL6710 business class seat. As a result, even economy class passengers will be able to enjoy a seat with 12-inch IFE, USB and PC power supply.

TAP, Portugal’s flag carrier, has been a Recaro customer for many years and has expressed its confidence in the outstanding quality and design of Recaro seats with repeated orders. Dr. Mark Hiller, Chief Executive Officer and Shareholder of Recaro Aircraft Seating, says: "We are delighted with TAP’s decision to equip its entire cabin with our new CL3710 and CL6710 seats. It clearly reflects the strength of a successful collaboration between two powerful brands in the industry."
