This result places Expliseat among the fastest-growing aircraft seating manufacturers worldwide and reflects sustained market adoption of lightweight seating solutions driven by airlines’ focus on weight reduction, total cost of ownership optimization, and operational reliability.
Strong Global Momentum, With North America as a Key Growth Driver
In 2025, Expliseat expanded its footprint across North America, Europe, and the Middle East, with North America emerging as a strategic growth engine. The region played a central role in accelerating program adoption and fleet modernization initiatives, supported by strong alignment with OEM platforms and high-utilization airline operations.
North America: A Strategic Pillar for Long-Term Growth
In North America, Expliseat strengthened its presence through active airline programs and platform deployments, validating the relevance of lightweight seating for operators seeking immediate operating cost reductions without compromising passenger comfort or durability.
Deliveries to Air Canada Jazz and continued engagement with regional operators demonstrated Expliseat’s ability to scale production, support entry-into-service phases, and meet stringent certification and operational requirements.
