HAECO Cabin Solutions has unveiled its Eclipse Cabin at the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg, Germany, on April 2, 2019. During the event, HAECO Cabin Solutions has also showcased its new Eclipse seat. The launch customer − an as yet unnamed Middle East-based airline − will begin flying with the seats in 2020.
The Eclipse Cabin transforms travel in short-haul business class and long-haul premium economy by utilizing an innovative layout and design. This elevates the overall passenger experience by increasing privacy and comfort while maximizing passenger places (PAX) for airlines. The Eclipse Cabin further enhances flying by providing more stowage space for amenities and crew baggage, freeing overhead bin space.
Customer deliveries will commence in the first quarter of 2020 after the Eclipse Cabin has achieved FAA Technical Standard Order (TSO) certification.
