SpiceJet has tied-up with a US-based company for lighter seats that also offer more legroom on the aircraft. The agreement with LIFT by EnCore is for a product line called Tourist Class Seating.
The airline has awarded a seat programme for its first 50 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. A part of SpiceJet’s existing Boeing 737 Next Gen fleet will also be retrofitted with the new seats. The airline has also inked an agreement with TCI to design and manufacture galleys for its 155 B737 MAX planes, deliveries of which start next year.
SpiceJet was among the first private companies that stepped into the Indian aviation sector. The airline, which has a fleet of 49 planes, operates an average of 342 flights daily.
