Global aircraft lessor Avolon has secured a deal for 20 shipsets of the Recaro BL3530 SPRINT seat for use on aircraft in the transition market.
The order consists of fifteen shipsets for use on A320 aircraft and five shipsets for the B737NG aircraft; the seats will be delivered in the first half of 2021.
Recaro rolled out the SPRINT program in 2019 as a Customer Service solution with only two months from order to delivery. The SPRINT program allows customers to select the ELeather cover colour from five pre-defined and pre-certified colours for the BL3530 seat. SPRINT standard configurations are available for Airbus A319, A320, A321 and Boeing 737 aircraft.
“This transaction will enable Avolon to react very quickly to market demand for flight ready aircraft. It is one of several proactive steps we are taking as a Lessor to support the needs of our customers,” said Enda Swan, Head of New Aircraft Deliveries & Engineering at Avolon.
