Southwest Airlines Cabin Redesign and New Seats
Southwest Airlines has revealed a new look and feel with plans for redesigned aircraft cabin conveniences and interiors that will feature new aircraft seats from RECARO. Alongside these efforts, Southwest also announced a uniform refresh for its 53,000 employees.
Southwest Airlines partnered with Tangerine, a leading design company that specializes in transportation, to create an updated cabin interior for new aircraft deliveries beginning next year. The design aims to bring a Southwest feel with deep blue tones, sky blue accents, and a nod to the Southwest Heart woven throughout the carpet.
As part of this refresh, Southwest has selected RECARO to provide comfortable seating that complements the calm blue palette planned for the refreshed cabins. The Southwest Heart will be threaded throughout the interior with the recognizable symbol debossed on seat headrests, alongside a sunray pattern on the seats.
The new RECARO seats include a multi-adjustable headrest cushion for enhanced head and neck support, an intuitively designed seat for ultimate comfort while maximizing seat width and overall support. The upgrades continue as each seat also will include a personal electronic device holder for customers to enjoy Inflight Entertainment on their devices more easily.
