The decade-long partnership between Recaro Aircraft Seating (Recaro) and Alaska Airlines began with the selection of the CL4400 and the Crystal Cabin and Red Dot Award-winning BL3520. By project conclusion, more than 27K pax were delivered and installed on Alaska’s Boeing fleet.
Subsequent projects throughout the years have delivered nearly 20K pax for various cabin retrofit and linefit programs, as well as the recent relaunch of Alaska’s Airbus fleet. By the end of 2022, Recaro will surpass a 50K pax milestone with their long-term customer.
“Our partnership with Alaska exemplifies our commitment to next-level customer relations and we have learned so much from one another over the years,” said Sunitha Vegerla, General Manager at Recaro Aircraft Seating Americas. “With Alaska’s plan to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2040, it’s more important than ever for Recaro to be in lock-step with our partners.”
Alaska Airlines was first founded in 1932, flying passengers, mail and cargo on routes in Alaska. Today, the Seattle-based airlines flies passengers to 115 destinations on 1,200 daily flights.
“We stand for care at Alaska and a big part of how we demonstrate care is through our thoughtful, high quality product touches,” Sangita Woerner, SVP of Marketing and Guest Experience at Alaska Airlines. “Since 2012, Recaro has played a leading role in helping us deliver incredible comfort, convenient features and reliability for our guests. As we continue to deliver our new fuel-efficient 737 MAX fleet and begin to refresh our 737 NG interiors, we appreciative of the decade long partnership we’ve forged with Recaro.”
