Recaro Aircraft Seating’s (Recaro) lightweight SL3710 seat made its North America debut on a Frontier Airlines’ (Frontier) A320 aircraft on March 23, 2021. Weighing in at 8 kilograms, the seat is the lightest member in the economy-class seat market and supports Frontier’s mission of being “America’s Greenest Airline.”
Frontier is slated to receive 156 Airbus A320neo and A321neo aircraft over the next six years, which will be equipped with 186 and 240 SL3710 seats, respectively. Starting in July 2020, Recaro ramped up the customization and certification process to ensure the first seats would begin delivery in February 2021.
