AirAsia launch customer for Mirus Hawk

-

SEPANG, 3 April 2018 – AirAsia is the launch customer for the Mirus Hawk, a new slimline seat that is lighter and promises to help cut the airline’s fuel bill.

The slimline economy class seat made from carbon fibre, aluminium and genuine leather upholstery is ergonomically optimised for comfort but weighing less.

It is expected to help AirAsia reduce fuel consumption by more than 70,000 litres and lower CO2 emissions by 200 tonnes per aircraft per year, supporting the airline’s ongoing commitment to low air fares and sustainable business practices.

All Hawk seats are assembled at an automotive-style production facility in Norfolk, UK, by Mirus Aircraft Seating, which draws on Formula 1 engineering expertise for its seat designs and structure.

AirAsia Group CEO and AirAsia X co-group CEO Tan Sri Tony Fernandes said: “Lots of great work has gone into the Hawk. Not only is this premium seat more comfortable and boasts more legroom, but it also weighs less, which is good for our guests, our bottom line and the environment as well.

He added: “This is just the beginning. More innovations are on the way, including a personal electronic device holder and high power 2A USB port so our guests can stay powered and connected. It really will be a true step-change in LCC passenger experience.”
