Ethiopian Airlines has entered into a new agreement with Safran to outfit its upcoming Boeing 777-9 aircraft with Z400 economy class seats.<\/p>\n
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed during the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg and covers eight aircraft scheduled for delivery in mid-2027.<\/p>\n
Each aircraft will feature 383 economy seats. The Z400 model was selected for its suitability for long-haul operations and includes upgraded 13-inch inflight entertainment screens, replacing the current 11.6-inch versions. The seats are also 12.5% lighter than earlier models, thanks to a simplified structure and advanced materials aimed at improving fuel efficiency and sustainability.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are pleased to have signed this MoU with Safran for the provision of the Z400 seats for our 777-9 aircraft. As a technology driven airline, we are committed to enhancing our passengers\u2019 onboard experience through state-of-the-art technology that offer passenger comfort while also ensuring operational efficiency and sustainability,\u201d said Ethiopian Airlines Group CEO Mr. Mesfin Tasew.<\/p>\n
Victoria Foy, CEO of Safran Seats, added: \u201cWe are delighted to deepen our partnership with Ethiopian Airlines by providing our advanced Z400 seats for their B777-9 fleet. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to innovation and excellence in passenger comfort, supporting Ethiopian Airlines as it expands its horizons and enhances its inflight services.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
