Aircraft Interior Expo

At the Aircraft Interiors Expo in
Hamburg, Germany, the theme seemed to be “less for more”. That meant how to
make less room fit more passengers. Yikes. Here were some of the ideas:

1. Putting passengers
face to face

2. Installing
seats in a staggered diagonal layout

3. Lavatories
designed to wedge in a few extra passengers in the back of the cabin

4. Thin, flip up
seats

It is an
ongoing trend for all airlines save costs. The most popular idea came from a
French company called Expliseat, which had developed a seat made of lightweight
titanium and composite materials. It weighs about 8.8 pounds, wheras newer
economy seats weigh about 24 pounds.

At Excelsior Limousine we’ll
stick to good old leather seats and plenty of leg room in our luxury town cars
and limousines.
