People sit around a table with coffee cups and index cards. We only see their hands. One appears to be speaking with their hands.

Join us once again for a strategic perspective on the airline industry, cabin interiors, seats and the passenger experience.

We sit down with Cristian Sutter, one of the RedCabin event chairs and managing director of Sutter Aviation Consulting, to talk about the growth in the importance of lessors — and their messages to the interiors industry.

We also dive into the growing focus on the balance between customisation, deliverability and remarketability of seats and cabins, plus issues around low-shipset availability and the “seatmaker of last resort”, together with the role of Airbus and Boeing in all of this.

Plus, for our Business-tier subscribers: more important nuance around our state of the industry Business Readout on seat suppliers and cabin interiors, including certification, early programme engagement and further detail.
