Spirit Airlines is introducing “pre-reclined” seats that do not adjust. Brice Seating’s new pre-reclined B3100 Featherweight Super Light seat design has a greater recline built into the design. The lightweight seat means greater fuel efficiency, which is better for the environment and reduces costs. It is more than 30 percent lighter in weight than other seats. The 178 seats on Spirit’s A320 weigh less than 145 seats on its A319. Fewer moving mechanisms mean less maintenance and fewer delays. Spirit says that it eliminates interference from the seat in front of you moving up and down throughout the flight. The new seats are being installed on Spirit’s new Airbus A320 aircraft. Spirit has taken delivery of two A320s this year with two more arriving in coming months. The new 178-seat A320 features 174 deluxe leather seats and four Big Front Seats.
