AirAsia Group CEO Tony Fernandes (seated) trying out the Hawk slimline economy seats in the presence of Mirus Aircraft Seating Ltd's CEO Phill Hall (standing) after the official agreement signing ceremony at the Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) in Hamburg, Germany. The deal will see AirAsia retrofit all existing and new Airbus A320 aircraft with the lightweight seats. The Hawk is made from a fully composite frame and utilises fewer moving parts, making it close to 40 percent lighter than conventional seats. The seat has been engineered to deliver significant cabin space and weight savings while preserving passenger comfort.
