Aircraft seat protection

Biggin Hill Airport-based aircraft interior and exterior specialist, RAS Completions has revealed the industry’s first aircraft personal window protection (PPW) shield that allows airlines to keep the middle seat available for passengers.

The PPW is undergoing EASA approval and is expected to be ready for aircraft use as early as mid-June.

RAS says the kit is designed to shield passengers from lateral person-to-person droplet transmission, particularly when used in conjunction with IATA endorsed biosecurity measures, such as face masks. Made from transparent aircraft-approved polycarbonate and fixed to the back and sides of seats, it will enable airlines to safely resume service without removing or blocking out the middle seat.

Roger Patron, Business Development Manager, RAS Completions, says: “So far, protection solutions all remove the use of the middle seat, which isn’t a viable, long-term financial option for most airlines. Our new PPW gives airlines a choice. We want to give people confidence to return to the skies, and firmly believe this product will help them to feel protected while retaining much of the flying experience they are used to.”

The new PPW can fit on all types of seat, whether Economy or Premium Economy, allows the seat to recline and can be adjusted for children and larger adults. It does not interfere with safety procedures and the installation process is straightforward, meaning airlines will not need to reconfigure their aircraft interiors.

RAS Completions has a network of approved suppliers around the world ready to produce in region.
