The 21.5-Inch Business Class Seat That Threatens Collins, Safran & RECARO's Grip On Mid-Size Airlines

Unum has unveiled a new business class seat measuring 21.5 inches wide, representing an innovative approach within the aviation industry’s seating landscape. The company intends to offer this design as a strategic alternative to established configurations currently favored by major manufacturers like Collins Aerospace, Safran and Recaro. This shift focuses on delivering enhanced comfort for passengers traveling in mid-size aircraft. Unum’s move signals a potential disruption of the traditional reverse herringbone layout that dominates many premium cabin designs. Airlines are now considering this option as they seek improved passenger experience options.
