Luxair has chosen the R2 seat from the Embraer Seller Furnished Equipment (SFE) catalogue—marking the first RECARO seat selection based on the joint RECARO–Embraer SFE catalogue. This milestone establishes a strong foundation for RECARO’s entry into the SFE market with a competitive and high-quality product offering.
For over two decades, Embraer featured only a single seating supplier in its SFE catalogue. Since 2023, however, RECARO and Embraer have collaborated to develop a dedicated catalogue for E1 and E2 aircraft, which includes both the R1 and R2 models with a wide range of configurable features. Luxair’s selection represents the official market launch of this joint seating solution.
RECARO’s reputation for quality, comfort, and strong brand appeal were key factors in Luxair’s decision. Another decisive element was the availability of Astronics’ latest in-seat power supply system (ISPSS). Luxair has opted for the R2 comfort package, which includes a six-way adjustable headrest with integrated neck support and additional cushion, a tablet holder and the cutting-edge Astronics Ultralite Generation 2 USB-C 60W ISPSS.
Aircraft delivery is scheduled for November 2025, with entry into service expected by December 2025.
“RECARO Aircraft Seating adds more choice for our customers and reinforces our commitment to enhancing the passenger experience while delivering value to airlines. The RECARO seats look great in our cabins, bring additional options and low weight for our airline customers, and more comfort and amenities for their passengers,” said Fernando Antonio Oliveira, VP Programmes at Embraer Commercial Aviation.
