Redefining low-cost flying

The Super Eco Seat is optimised for a high-density cabin, aimed at Asian low-cost carriers. It was developed as a response to the changing needs of Asian markets where a considerable increase in travel volume and shuttle journeys is expected. The Super Eco Seat is designed as part of a high-density upper cabin, which is complemented by a lower deck Air Lounge and Experience Space, utilizing an interchangeable cargo container system. The lower deck offers services and entertainment options on a pay-per-use basis.

Revolutionising concepts

Jaime Moreno, founder and CEO of Mormedi, said, “We are proud that the Super Eco Seat has been recognized in one of the most prestigious design competitions in the world. This new concept is needed to help make airline travel accessible for a huge new emerging passenger segment in Asia. By combining the Super Eco Seat with new in-cabin spaces, air travel can be not only economically feasible, but more enjoyable from the passenger perspective.”
