How many other airlines install second-hand seats on brand new aircraft?

Quoting BoeingVista (Reply 3): Why not indeed, recycling is also a good idea ecologically speaking. |
Quoting Fly-K (Reply 8): OK got it... well the Air Caraibes cabin already used the denim design for the seat covers, so it could be similar. |
Quoting AngelAirways (Reply 13): The lead time for ordering new seats is as much as 18 months if with IFE, 12 months without IFE - seat suppliers are very busy, so picking used seats gets the aircraft up in the air very quickly. And indeed there is an abundant supply of used seats in the market, in decent condition, at less than a third of the cost of new ones. Adding a fresh fabric cover is all it takes. |
Quoting Aesma (Reply 15): I think that's the answer. |
Quoting SpaceshipDC10 (Reply 19): Based on the link below, German manufacturer Zim is providing the seats for both classes. Aircraft will also be equipped with WiFi. http://www.frenchblue.com/fr/la-compagnie/decouvrir-french-blue |
Quoting Polot (Reply 21): Unless the Zim seats are for the A350/later A330s and the initial A330s will use secondhand seats. |
