RECARO Aircraft Seating (RECARO) was chosen by Malaysia Airlines to furnish its brand-new Airbus A330neo aircraft with the CL3810 economy-class seat. Malaysia Airlines will be the first carrier in Southeast Asia to feature the CL3810 seats.
The CL3810 is the latest addition to the RECARO seating portfolio. The lightweight seat was designed to enhance the passenger experience and operational efficiency. More than 5,000 CL3810 pax are set to be delivered for a line fit on Malaysia Airlines’ A330neo aircraft, starting in Q3 2024 through to 2028.
Built with sustainability in mind, the CL3810 is nearly 15% lighter than its predecessor, contributing to significant fuel savings for airlines while optimising cabin performance. The seats will be dressed in a customised trim and finish, incorporating Malaysia Airlines’ signature songket motif.
Passengers can expect a spacious and ergonomic seating experience, with features including seat pitch ranging from 31 to 36 inches, six-inch recline, a 13.3-inch in-flight entertainment system and individual power access at each seat with type USB-C and USB-A ports. Seat cushions with layered foam and ergonomic technology, a six-way adjustable headrest and a Comfort+ seat bottom with articulation will further enhance the passenger experience on long-haul flights.
