Aviointeriors has responded to a post COVID-19 future by redesigning the high-density economy class seating to account for social distancing among passengers.
The Glassafe shield is a kit solution that can be installed on existing seats to make close proximity safer among passengers sharing the same row, by minimising contacts and interactions via air between passengers and reducing the probability of contamination by viruses.
Glassafe can be supplied in opaque material or with different degrees of transparency, are easily cleaned and is hygienically safe.
Glassafe can be applied to Aviointeriors’ ‘Janus’ seat, which reverses the position of the centre seat of a triple producing a two-faced seat.
While passengers seated on the side seats, aisle and fuselage, continue to be positioned in the flight direction as usual, the passenger sitting in the centre faces backwards.
In this arrangement, three passengers can be individually separated with the Glassafe shield that isolates them from each other, while still giving access to seat back features such as meal table, literature pocket and other possible features. The shield offers its separation function even when the backrest is reclined.
To ensure access to the seat from the aisle by a disabled passenger, the shield portion on the aisle can be foldable or sliding.
