Thompson Aero Seating has made the initial delivery of the business class seat “VantageXL+” to China Southern Airlines. This was announced at the “Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX2025)” held in Hamburg, Germany.
The latest model of the conventional “VantageXL” is optimized for Airbus A350 and Boeing 787 aircraft. The newest model has improved foot space and monitor positioning for a more immersive experience.
On the Airbus A350 aircraft, 24 seats will be installed in a “1-2-1” configuration. The total length is approximately 190 cm, and the seat pitch is 44 inches. The front row is designated as “VantageXL+ First Suite,” providing spacious accommodation. It measures approximately 203 cm in length and allows dining for 2 or 4 people.
Thompson Aero Seating and the design company Tangerine have developed a design that reflects the brand identity of China Southern Airlines. The first aircraft is scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2026.
