Air Canada will introduce Collins Aerospace business class and economy class seats on its Airbus A321XLR aircraft.
The business class cabin will feature 14 “Aurora” seats. Although this is a single-aisle aircraft, it is designed to provide a business class experience comparable to that of widebody aircraft. The seats have been co-customized with design firm Acumen, featuring a warm color palette.
The shape and installation angle of the seats are perfectly matched to the dimensions of the aircraft, maximizing living space while also making it possible to add one extra row of seats. In addition, the galley capacity has been expanded to accommodate the amount of catering required for long-haul routes.
The economy class cabin will feature 168 “Meridian+” seats. Drawing on widebody aircraft design concepts, the uniquely curved structure increases space around the lower back, knees, and elbows.
Air Canada plans to put its first Airbus A321XLR aircraft into service in Japan this spring.
