Ethiopian Airlines upgrades fleet with cutting-edge Safran seating

Ethiopian Airlines has taken a significant step toward enhancing passenger comfort by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with French aerospace company Safran for the supply of state-of-the-art Z400 economy class seats. The agreement, finalized at the prestigious Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg, will equip eight new Boeing 777-9 aircraft with the premium seating solution. 

The Z400 seats were specifically selected by Ethiopian Airlines for their superior comfort and advanced features tailored to long-haul operations. Passengers can look forward to an elevated inflight experience, including next-generation displays for high-quality entertainment and ergonomic designs that prioritize comfort during extended flights. 

"This partnership with Safran reflects our commitment to delivering world-class service and innovation," said an Ethiopian Airlines representative. "The Z400 seats will ensure our passengers enjoy unparalleled comfort as we continue to expand our long-range fleet." 

The Boeing 777-9 aircraft, known for their fuel efficiency and extended range, will further strengthen Ethiopian Airlines' position as a leader in African aviation. The addition of Safran's Z400 seats aligns with the airline's strategy to combine operational excellence with premium passenger experiences. 

The Aircraft Interiors Expo, where the agreement was signed, serves as a global platform for showcasing the latest advancements in cabin interiors and aviation technology. Ethiopian Airlines' selection of Safran's seating solution highlights the airline's forward-thinking approach to customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. 

With this upgrade, Ethiopian Airlines continues to set the standard for luxury and innovation in African aviation, reinforcing its reputation as a preferred carrier for international travelers.
