AvFab Receives Russian Approval for King Air Traveler Airline Seat
Aviation Fabricators (AvFab) recently received Russian approval for the installation of their Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) approved King Air Traveler Airline Seats for the Beechcraft King Air B300 and B350 series aircraft.
The Airline Style Seats were designed for high density applications, and are available in two models, Econo Seat and Traveler Seat. Both also have FAA, EASA, Mexican, Nigerian, and Transport Canada STC approval.
The Traveler Seat builds on the quality and durability of the Econo Seat, which was engineered for durability and affordability, while adding some additional features including more
leg room, easier entry and exit, and improved comfort. Both seats were developed to be a lightweight “no maintenance” solution for those wanting to add capacity without adding unnecessary cost.
All airline style seating includes seat
belts, back and bottom cushions (un-
upholstered), life vest, and installation
instructions. Add-on options include
aisle-side arm rest, headrest, and side
wall/arm ledge panel for outboard armrest. The seats come with a one- year warranty.
Installation is as simple as removing the existing seats/furnishings, and then placing the high-density seats into the desired locations by locking them into the seat tracks. AvFab also offers pricing quotes on the removed seats as potential trade-ins.
