B/E Aerospace To Unveil Aspire Wide Body Main Cabin Seating With United Airlines

(RTTNews) - B/E Aerospace (BEAV), a manufacturer of aircraft cabin interior products, announced Tuesday it would launch Aspire wide body main cabin seating with United Airlines.

B/E Aerospace announced the selection of the latest B/E Aerospace economy class seating platforms. Aspire has been selected for the 787-10 and A350, as well as 777-200 retrofits and Meridian single aisle main cabin seating has been selected for the next generation 737 MAX 9.

Both seat products incorporate United's latest brand themes and styling developed by PreistmanGoode and B/E Aerospace's Design Group. They will be elegantly coordinated with United's new cabin branding schemes.

The Aspire product line features more passenger living space with an increase in seat width over current generation seats. It has an advanced kinematic mechanism that cradles the passenger during recline while preserving maximum living space for each passenger.

Meridian, B/E Aerospace's latest new generation passenger seating platform for narrow body aircraft, will launch on United's 737 MAX 9 aircraft planned for delivery in 2018. The company has sold over 200,000 pax in its launch year, outselling Pinnacle, the industry's current number one narrow body platform.

Werner Lieberherr, President and COO of B/E Aerospace, said, "Our collaborative and customized work with United Airlines on these latest, new generation Economy products are being tailored for United by B/E Aerospace to incorporate industry leading seat amenities, maximized passenger living space, B/E's proprietary comfort system and the latest United Airlines cabin brand initiatives."
