Close to 9,000 seats will be delivered and installed in a hybrid layout, featuring distinctive Condor branding elements.
The BL3710 seat is equipped with comfort amenities such as individual USB power, an enhanced ergonomic seat bottom, an adaptable tray table, elongated armrests and a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) holder for passenger entertainment on PEDs.
The lightweight SL3710 model offers advanced ergonomics suitable for all body types. There is USB power access at each seat and an integrated cup holder fitted on an eight-kilogram frame.
