A long partnership
Qantas Group and Recaro have been partners for over 15 years, with Qantas leaning on them for products to suit their onboard product.
With its Australian route network expansion, the BL3710 allows for Jetstar to prioritise passenger comfort without compromising on weight, with the BL3710 coming in at under 10kg a seat – a difference that adds up when it comes to the long term flying (as seat weight is an important part of the makeup of a weight of an aircraft, and the fuel to power it.
