Expliseat to showcase TiSeat 2X at MRO Americas 2025
Expliseat's TiSeat 2X
Expliseat will make its debut at MRO Americas 2025, showcasing its flagship TiSeat 2X for the first time at the event. This marks a significant step in the company’s expansion into the North American market.
As demand for modern, high-performance seating solutions continues to grow in the regional aviation sector, Expliseat is poised to offer airlines a more durable, efficient, and passenger-friendly alternative to traditional seating, the March 18 press release said. Members of the leadership team will be available for discussion throughout the event at Booth 2804, Hall B.
Expliseat’s TiSeat 2X features an ultra-lightweight yet robust design, offering airlines a premium product that enhances operational efficiency without compromising comfort. The TiSeat 2X has been selected by Air France for its new Embraer 190 single-aisle cabins, set to enter service this year, and is currently a finalist for the 2025 Crystal Cabin Awards in the Airline Innovation category.
According to Expliseat, the TiSeat 2X:
-
Is the lightest seat on the market, 30 percent lighter than comparable products while also contributing to an average 6 percent reduction in CO2 emissions per passenger.
-
With more than 100 patents, TiSeat 2X is engineered with a titanium and carbon fiber composite frame, requiring fewer than 50 parts per seat and offering 10x lower direct maintenance costs (DMC).
-
Airlines work directly with Expliseat to co-develop customized seating solutions, ensuring their brand identity is reflected in the cabin.
The TiSeat 2X offers a premium seating experience with high-resilience foams for enhanced comfort and durability. The backrest is designed with additional padding, under-seat storage, a PED holder zone, dual-cup holders and USB ports, to address the growing demand for advanced, connected and interactive solutions among modern passengers.
The seat’s modular design allows airlines to configure seating options across various classes, incorporating tailored fabrics and finishes to align with their brand identity while maintaining comfort and functionality.
“Expliseat’s solutions also ensure seamless brand integration for regional carriers operating under major airline brands in the U.S., helping to create a consistent passenger experience across fleets. The TiSeat 2X enables a first-class regional experience that aligns with mainline fleet branding, ensuring uniformity and passenger satisfaction,” the press release said.
JF Tessier, Vice President Sales, North America at Expliseat commented on the supplier’s attendance at MRO Americas: “The North American regional aviation market is one of the largest in the world, yet it has historically been underserved when it comes to seating innovation. Passengers today expect a state-of-the-art travel experience, and network airlines want seamless branding across their fleets. Expliseat’s TiSeat 2X is the only solution that delivers on all fronts—enhancing passenger comfort, increasing efficiency, and driving profitability for airlines.”
Expliseat has already established a strong presence in North America, with employees and a growing operators’ roster including Air Canada Jazz, Porter and Nolinor. With more than a decade of experience working with regional carriers outside of North America, Expliseat brings a deep understanding of the unique challenges and requirements of this segment to the market.
“At Expliseat, we believe that the future of mobility depends on disruptive technologies that deliver immediate impact. Our ultra-lightweight seating technology, backed by over 100 patents, is already changing the industry, and we are excited to expand into the North American market. This region represents a key opportunity to bring our innovative solutions to more airlines and passengers,” said Amaury Barberot, CEO, Expliseat.
