Azerbaijan Airlines has made the decision to install SkyLeather®, a revolutionary, eco-friendly, durable and lightweight 100% water-based material, on three of its A319 and six of its A320 aircraft. The decision marks a significant milestone for AJW Technique Interiors, part of the AJW Group, in its long-standing relationship with Azerbaijan Airlines.
Developed in collaboration with manufacturing partner Autostop Aviation, SkyLeather® offers significant advantages over natural leather. This innovative man-made material not only delivers enhanced durability and easy cleanability but also offers substantial weight savings, reducing the aircraft's overall weight. By adopting SkyLeather®, Azerbaijan Airlines will achieve a notable reduction in fuel consumption, contributing to a more sustainable and eco-friendly operation.
The implementation of SkyLeather® also translates into significant cost savings for the airline. Its exceptional durability and easy-to-clean surface contribute to a reduction in Direct Maintenance Costs (DMC), allowing for efficient seat maintenance and a superior cabin appearance. These benefits extend to passengers, who will enjoy an enhanced flying experience with comfortable and visually appealing seating.
In addition to the introduction of SkyLeather® and as part of Azerbaijan Airlines' strategic development plan, AJW Technique Interiors is also refurbishing the interiors of one B757 and two B767 aircraft using its own in-house cut, sew and engineering capability.
