easyJet will introduce next-generation ultra-lightweight seats from 2028.
From 2028, easyJet will install the new ultra-lightweight “Kestrel” seats, manufactured by Mirus Aircraft Seating, on its Airbus A320neo and Airbus A321neo aircraft to be delivered from that year.
The Kestrel seat, certified in the third quarter of 2025, is designed for economy class on single-aisle aircraft. Without changing the seat pitch, it increases legroom by up to 2 inches. With a robust design, reduced maintenance requirements, and the use of recyclable materials, it is intended to extend service life. The seats are more than 20% lighter than those currently in use, reducing weight by up to 500 kilograms per aircraft. This is expected to contribute to an annual reduction of 40,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
