Norwegian introduces slimline seats on 737 MAX
Norwegian has taken delivery of its first Boeing 737 MAX aircraft with an upgraded cabin of new slimline seats that are specifically designed for more comfort on longer routes and will give taller passengers more personal space.
Europe’s third largest low-cost airline has more than 100 Boeing 737 MAX on order and will take delivery of 12 brand new Boeing 737 MAX aircraft in 2018.
The aircraft service Norwegian’s transatlantic routes to New York and Providence near Boston, from the UK and Ireland and as part of the airline’s fleet modernisation plan, the 737 MAX will replace older Boeing 737-800s on short-haul routes.
On the one-year anniversary of launching nonstop transatlantic flights to smaller cities on the US East Coast, Norwegian has enhanced the passenger experience on its Boeing 737 MAX by introducing the brand new RECARO 3710C seat.
The new slimmer 189 leather seats have 30" seat pitch and measures 17.2" wide and are designed to add space at knee-level giving customers additional comfort on Norwegian’s newest 737 MAX.
Each seat weighs around 10kg — 1kg less than the older model, which reduces the weight of the aircraft by more than 200kg overall.
The lower aircraft weight reduces fuel burn and Norwegian’s operating costs which allows the carrier to continue delivering affordable fares and an environmentally friendly service.
