Cabin interiors specialist Lantal is probably best known for its carpets and upholstery, but the Swiss company also has just launched its new Pneumatic Comfort System, which it says makes seats more passenger-friendly. The system’s pressure-adjustable cushions have been in service with Swiss International Airline’s business and first-class long-haul aircraft for the two years and are now available for more widespread use. According to Lantal, the design not only gives greater comfort but is also lightweight, meaning less impact on fuel burn and the operator’s carbon footprint.
Lantal has recently been awarded design organization approval status, allowing it to develop, test, and certify ready-to-install products for aircraft interiors. The company is certified to the Part 21 Subpart G of the European Aviation Safety Agency and can provide the necessary EASA Form One with each delivery of ready-made products.
