Economy Class beds

Chameleon Products, the specialist interior supplier and Flying Service, a UK-based aircraft seat manufacturer, have collaborated to produce the world's first economy bed seat,  called ESP Xtra which BTN previewed 23 February.

The ESP Xtra (Extendable Seat Product) converts from a standard economy seat into a lounger seat which enables passengers to lie flat in a sleeping position or to relax with other travelling companions or family.

The seat which is an extension of the ESP seat launched earlier this year comprises a forward and aft facing seat incorporating the ESP features which produces a bed in Economy Class and is ideal for travelling families or individuals who just want a large area to relax .

The ESP seat can be produced for any aircraft type and certification is about 12 weeks. The product can quickly enter service with A330 operators in particular as Flying Service already have a 16G A330 approved standard economy seat at a 34 inch pitch.  However the ESP seat has been designed to go into a 29 inch pitch allowing more seats to be put into the aircraft.  www.chameleonproducts.net    www.flyingservice.co.uk
