July 11, 2017 – Chinese airline Shandong Airlines is further expanding its collaboration with Recaro Aircraft Seating with the placing of an order for 6,000 seats, for fitment on 34 new Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. This is the airline’s third collaboration with Recaro since 2013, when Shandong Airlines was the launch customer for the Recaro production site in China.
The order is valued at what the company calls ‘a two-digit million amount in Euros’, and is for Recaro’s BL3530 economy class and the CL4400 business class seat models.
