In another win for Acro Aircraft Seating, the company has won a contract to line-fit fifty Airbus A321neo aircraft with Pegasus Airlines.
Pegasus Airlines will utilise the space-maximising and rather comfortable Series 9 Fixed Back seats.
These seats will be start being delivered to low-cost Turkish carrier in the first quarter of 2025, with the inaugural order completed by the end of 2029, and the potential for fifty further aircraft to follow soon after.
The airline has chosen to dress their Series 9 in rich navy vegan leather. Being a fixed back seat, they will be pre-reclined to a comfort- and space-enhancing 21.5 degrees and will feature custom trim and finish, with subtle touches of the red and yellow that feature in the Pegasus Airlines’ livery.

Announcing the contract, Neil Cairns, CEO of Acro, said,
“We are delighted to have been chosen as the preferred partner of the dynamic and forward-thinking Pegasus Airlines and we’re looking forward to creating, with the Pegasus team, a distinctively bespoke version of our versatile Series 9.
“The Series 9 has been hailed, with justification, as a game-changer; it’s known as the Fixed Back, which truly optimises passenger living space, even in high-density cabins. Its attributes are perfect for today’s marketplace, with benefits including competitive weight and costs, elegant clean lines and reduced part count to support low maintenance and fast turnaround.
“Inevitably, it’s the comfort of this class-leading seat which gives it its Unique Selling Point. Generous pax width has been achieved without compromise to either armrest or aisle width, so that passengers enjoy outstanding stretch-out legroom even at a reduced pitch. We’re confident that it will be a huge hit for Pegasus Airlines and their passengers when it takes to the air.”
Another win for Acro
We saw a good few wins for Acro Aircraft Seating at AIX this year, and it seems that other agreements have come to fruition as time from the show has gone on.
The Series 9 Fixed-Back offers good comfort for those short to mid-haul flights, on a seat that has a low seat count, offering easy maintenance and low weight – whilst offering a high level of recyclability at the end of its life.
Something to look forward to on those 3-4 hour flights when flying Pegasus Airlines.
