Deutsche Aircraft and ACRO ink Series 9 seat deal
The new seating will provide top-quality, sturdy and lightweight seats for D328 and D328eco
Acro Aircraft Seating has been chosen to provide its Series 9 Economy Class seats to Deutsche Aircraft for its D328 family of aircraft. This includes the D328eco and a retrofit option for the established D328 turboprop and D328 jet.
Nico Neumann, Chief Operations Officer at Deutsche Aircraft, said in a June 7 press release, “Acro Aircraft Seating has been selected based on a multifunctional assessment of innovation, sustainability, quality and economic factors. Besides serving our D328eco in a baseline 40 PAX configuration, the selected seats will be available as a retrofit option for our D328 Turboprop and D328 Jet, enhancing the passenger experience of our operating aircraft. This selection is a significant step within the D328eco development schedule, as we are now completing the interior selection for the cabin, cargo and cockpit. I look forward to a long-term relationship and many happy customers.”
The introduction of Acro’s Series 9 seats aims to deliver an enhanced onboard experience for passengers flying on both the D328eco and the D328. These seats are specifically designed for regional and short-haul routes, offering a wider seat pitch, a durable yet lightweight construction, reduced maintenance requirements, and enhanced reliability.
Passenger comfort takes center stage, as the Acro Series 9 seats ensure a pleasant journey during short-haul flights. Equipped with convenient amenities such as USB sockets for device charging, these seats prioritize the passengers’ needs. Furthermore, their lightweight design aligns with Deutsche Aircraft’s commitment to sustainable aviation by reducing cabin weight and minimizing fuel burn.
Welcoming the contract announcement, Neil Cairns, Chief Executive of Acro Aircraft Seating, said in the same release, “We are delighted at this latest endorsement for our versatile Acro Series 9, particularly as Deutsche Aircraft is so widely respected in the industry, not only for its commitment to the very best in engineering design, quality and innovation, but also for its far-sighted sustainability policies. The Acro Series 9 delivers on every aspect, providing quantifiable and tangible benefits alongside elegant aesthetics and supreme comfort.
