Next time you travel by Britain’s Premium Aircraft Interiors Group, you will be surprised; the seating arrangement of the plane has changed. Freedom Economy Seat, a three-seat row that flips the middle one backward has been introduced. Also there is a four-seat row in which the middle two face backward.
Ben Bettell, the PAIG executive has led the seat design plan project and it is said that Freedom seats also would give passengers at least two more inches of legroom than conventional seats.
This change is brought about to get rid of the current problems of coach passengers bumping elbows, knees and especially shoulders, typically the widest part of the body.
PAIG is now considering a wider Freedom seat configuration for first-class sections of narrower planes such as the Boeing 737 or Airbus A320.
