Portadown-based Thompson Aero has created the new Vantage Seat, the central element of the new business class service.

The bespoke full lie-flat seat delivers the possibility of a blissful sleep that will allow customers arrive at their destination 100% rested and ready to get on with their day.

The new seat transforms in to a fully-flat 6’6’’ (2 metres) bed, which is one of the longest in the industry with a seat width of 22’’.

The business class cabin has been designed so that 90% of the seats have direct aisle access, giving greater privacy and the ability to get in and out of seats with ease.
