UK-based passenger aircraft seat manufacturer Acro Aircraft Seating has announced that Braathens Regional, the Swedish wet lease and charter company, will be the first operator to fly with its newly modified seats in Saab 340 and 2000 aircraft. Developed in cooperation with global defence and security company, Saab, Acro will supply 13 shipsets equating to approximately 630 seats for Braathens’ Regional fleet. Acro adapted its seat design to accommodate the dimensions of the Saab 340/2000. Acro’s newly modified seats will enter service with Braathens Regional in Q2 2014. Acro anticipates that a number of Saab operators will follow suit.
