Collins Aerospace Secures Helix Seat Orders for 200 Narrowbody Aircraft from Three Launch Airlines

Collins Aerospace has won orders from three undisclosed international airlines for its Helix main cabin seats on approximately 200 narrowbody aircraft. The deals cover Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 family variants, with shipsets set for delivery aligned to aircraft schedules near the end of 2027.

The announcement, made April 15 in Hamburg at the Aircraft Interiors Expo, follows the company’s Skynook seat winning the Crystal Cabin Award. Helix targets narrowbody operators’ demands for enhanced ergonomics, offering passengers more living space, tactile comfort, and selectable amenities.

Key to its appeal, the seat reduces weight and part count compared to prior generations, cutting operational costs while supporting efficiency in high-frequency single-aisle routes. This positions Collins to capture market share in the growing narrowbody fleet segment.

Development remains on track, with Helix on display at the expo. The orders signal strong airline confidence in Collins’ aftermarket network and premium materials for durable, passenger-focused interiors.
