airBaltic Jets To Boast Recaro R2 Seats

Latvian airline airBaltic has chosen Recaro Aircraft Seating to equip its fleet of Airbus A220-300s with economy class seats, specifically the R2 derivative. The seats will boast the carrier’s light grey and leather covers. They will feature a 30-inch seat pitch, an integrated headrest, comfier cushioning and a USB-C port for charging mobile devices. The Recaro R2 will also help the airline save on operational costs. The lightweight construction helps reduce the overall weight of the aircraft, which will have a 148-seat layout. As a result, the fuel consumption will decrease. The first airBaltic jet equipped with Recaro R2 seats is expected to enter service in 2026. Once active, the Riga-headquartered airline will become the first in Europe and second in the world to feature Recaro seats on an Airbus A220-300.
