Thompson Aero Seating (TAS) has announced that it will be providing business-class seats for Edelweiss’ Airbus A350 fleet. Edelweiss, a subsidiary of SWISS, has become the first European airline to select the new VantageXL+ seat for its A350 business-class cabins. The VantageXL+ is an evolution of TAS’ popular Vantage seating platform, with refinements designed specifically for the Airbus A350 fuselage.<\/p>\n
The VantageXL+ seat offers a range of amenities, including a wide range of stowages, the ability to integrate the latest in-flight entertainment (IFE) equipment, and a fully-flat bed. The seat also features expanded footwells and reshaped internal walls, providing more legroom and improved comfort in bed mode. The suite top rails have been refined to make the space feel more open, and the IFE screen placement has been adjusted to improve viewing distance and immersion.<\/p>\n
Edelweiss has configured the VantageXL+ seats in a 1-2-1 layout, providing every passenger with direct aisle access. The airline has also introduced a premium offering, known as the Edelweiss Business Suite, which features a closing door for added privacy and a large 32-inch display. The Business Suite is designed to deliver a first-class-style experience within an all business-class layout.<\/p>\n
The remaining seats in the cabin are branded as Edelweiss Business, which use the same VantageXL+ base but without the door. These seats still offer direct aisle access, a fully-flat bed, and ample space for work and relaxation. The Edelweiss Business seats also feature multiple personal storage areas and a 17.3-inch IFE screen.<\/p>\n
The introduction of the VantageXL+ seat on Edelweiss’ A350 fleet is part of the airline’s broader premium refresh. Edelweiss is replacing its Airbus A340-300 fleet with Airbus A350-900 aircraft, and the new seats will be retrofitted across the fleet. The airline plans to begin taking delivery of the new seats later this year, with the first aircraft expected to enter service in 2026.<\/p>\n
The partnership between Edelweiss and TAS marks a significant milestone for the VantageXL+ seat, which is designed to provide a high level of comfort and amenities for long-haul passengers. The seat’s introduction on Edelweiss’ A350 fleet is expected to set the stage for wider adoption of the A350-optimized seat, and underscores the importance of interactive cabin innovation in shaping premium long-haul travel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
