Airbus plans to enrich its premium economy seating available on the A350 XWB catalogue, working in partnership with EADS Sogerma.

To this end EADS-Sogerma, an existing Airbus Contracted Supplier, is optimising its new ‘Celeste’ seat for the A350 XWB’s wide fuselage.

Celeste is an innovative cradle seat which provides premium economy passengers with a high level of comfort at an efficient pitch. Privacy options enhance the passenger experience. Earlier this year Airbus also agreed with Zodiac Seats (formerly Weber Aircraft Seats) to add its A350 XWB tailored ‘5810’ Premium Economy seat to the aircraft’s catalogue. This seat offers optimised living space and ergonomics, low weight and comprehensive IFE capability.
