The Recaro R7 seat will be retrofitted to LATAM Group Boeing 787 Dreamliners.

The R7 offers an increased shell height and suite door for enhanced privacy. Inspired by the breathtaking Andes mountain range, the seat’s custom table design and specialized antimicrobial faux leather dress covers, made from recycled materials, elevate the cabin’s premium ambience.

The 24 shipset retrofit for their Boeing 787-8 and Boeing 787-9 includes the incorporation of the long-haul R7 Business Class seat which is one of the lightest business class suites certified for B787 aircraft on the market.
