Airberlin A330 XL economy seats popular with long-haul passengers
Airberlin, which fitted more XL economy seats on its A330-200 long-haul fleet in Sept 2015, are proving to be very popular with passengers with an 80% occupancy rate. The airline, which added 5 economy class rows of XL seats on each of its 14 A330s, said these 48 XL seats give passengers 20% more legroom for improved comfort and faster boarding or disembarking. At around 91 cm , Airberlin said it has the largest seat pitch in the industry in economy class on transatlantic flights. “Whilst other airlines rely on premium economy, Airberlin’s decision to offer XL seats in economy class at a relatively affordable price was absolutely right. The XL seats are very popular with our passengers, especially on long-haul tourist routes, and already have an average occupancy rate of over 80%,” Airberlin CCO Julio Rodriguez said. <br/>
