RECARO Aircraft Seating (RECARO), a world leader in aircraft seating solutions, was selected as the exclusive seat supplier for LOT Polish Airlines’ (LOT) wide-body fleet through 2030. This award encompasses eight Boeing 787 aircraft and includes the installation of the CL6720, PL3530 and CL3810 seats in business, premium and economy-class, respectively.

The delivery of more than 2,000 passenger seats is scheduled to commence in Q3 2026, which will mark the first time for RECARO to partner with LOT on a wide-body project. Production of the economy class seats will take place at the RECARO facility in Świebodzin, Poland.

“We are honoured to partner with LOT, a renowned leader in the aviation industry, and we are committed to delivering excellence in service and innovation to enhance the passenger experience across the entire cabin,” said Dr Mark Hiller, CEO of RECARO Aircraft Seating and RECARO Holding. “In addition to our production facility in Poland building the economy class seat, this is an especially exciting milestone for our award-winning business class product.”

“In selecting RECARO Aircraft Seating as the exclusive seat supplier for our wide-body fleet through 2030, we have prioritised passenger comfort and innovation. The partnership represents a milestone for both LOT Polish Airlines and RECARO, marking the first time we embark on this wide-body project together,” said Izabela Leszczyńska, Product Director, LOT Polish Airlines. “With production of the economy-class seats to be based in Świebodzin, Poland, we embrace a synergy of excellence and craftsmanship. The CL6720, PL3530, and CL3810 series epitomise our commitment to providing a luxurious and comfortable travel experience across our business, premium, and economy-classes. We believe this collaboration sets new standards in aviation and reflects our dedication to enhancing the journey for our valued passengers.”
