Collins Aerospace, an RTX business, has secured orders from three international airlines for its new Helix main cabin seat on approximately 200 narrowbody aircraft. The deals cover Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 family variants, with deliveries aligned to aircraft schedules near the end of 2027.
The announcement, made April 15 in Hamburg, Germany, at the Aircraft Interiors Expo, marks the Helix as a launch product for these carriers. This initial commitment validates strong market demand for the seat’s innovations in narrowbody operations.
Helix refines main cabin ergonomics with added passenger living space, reduced weight over prior generations, and lower part count. These features cut operational costs while enhancing comfort through premium materials and selectable amenities, supported by a global aftermarket network.
The design addresses evolving narrowbody travel needs, prioritizing efficiency and passenger satisfaction. With shipsets in development, the orders signal Collins’ competitive edge in the single-aisle seating market amid rising fleet modernizations.
