Wingo, a new low-cost airline, will be the first Latin American customer to use the Vector single-aisle economy class seat. HAECO Cabin Solutions provided Wingo with a turnkey solution for its needs by handling reconfiguration engineering, obtaining the supplemental type certificate, and delivering the short-haul Vector economy class seats. To meet the airline’s commercial operation requirements, HAECO Cabin Solutions completed the extensive retrofit process for their Boeing 737-700 fleet, from order to delivery, in three months, made possible by the configurability and speed to market of the Vector seat.
