Magnetic Creative, the design and manufacturing arm of Magnetic Group, has received Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) approval from EASA on behalf of Scandinavian Airlines (SAS).
The recently-finalized STC project involved the reconfiguration of the passenger cabin of Embraer ERJ 190 series aircraft to a single class 122 passenger all economy LOPA (Layout of Passenger Accommodation).
In-Seat Power Supply System (ISPSS) components were installed, requiring a comprehensive modification aimed at providing SAS passengers with an enhanced travel experience. This turnkey solution also included manufacturing parts by Magnetic Creative’s production organization (Part 21G) and delivering part-kits for the final assembly.
"Design team's expertise was put to use during the modification process, needing rigorous testing, meticulous attention to detail, and effective collaboration. The team’s work is highly-appreciated and indicative of more similar and one-of-a-kind projects in the future. We would also like to express our gratitude to SAS for their trust and long-term partnership throughout this process. Working together to bring this exciting enhancement to their passengers has been a pleasure. We are confident that this STC will elevate the in-flight experience, setting new standards in comfort and convenience,” stated Zuzana Obračajová, Sales Director at Magnetic Creative, in a recent press statement.
"Installing this USB system on an Embraer for the first time, coupled with the introduction of these new seats, enables our passengers to enjoy the enhanced experience and a Scandinavian feeling, in line with the rest of the SAS fleet. All thanks to the Magnetic team for the good collaboration and for making this project a success!" remarked Mia Jakobsson, Director of Aircraft Trading at SAS, in the same statement.
