Lantal Textiles: Pneumatic Comfort System

The ultimate in well-being
for passengers
Aircraft
Create passenger revenue with innovation
Successful airlines emphasize their brand assets
with distinctive USPs that appeal to the passenger,
especially to frequent flyers who seek premium
service quality. They need to promise well-being
aboard and deliver. They need to market the
­genuine competitive edge in their strategic
­positioning approach. Carriers also face ever
stricter safety regulations and have to deal
with cost ­constraints while credibly projecting
their eco­logical awareness.
So the bottom line means bundling a memorable
travel experience with cost-effectiveness
and ­ecological soundness. It’s not an impossible
­equation.
A clear vision
with great impact
The innovative solution: Lantal’s pneumatic
comfort system.

Milestones in passenger comfort and
operational benefits
Passenger well-being: Comfort is a key criterion
for passengers in choosing an airline – especially
on long-haul flights. Pneumatic cushions adjust
automatically to seating and sleeping positions
with air chambers. Thanks to adaptive structures,
passengers feel no pressure points and can
adjust cushion firmness individually. Pneumatic
cushions retain their full strength and flexibility
throughout their service life.
Cost of ownership: Lantal’s pneumatic comfort
system provides unprecedented advantages
regarding total cost of ownership: lower operating
costs through weight savings and an extended,
maintenance-free life cycle.
Environment: By significantly reducing kerosene
consumption of aircraft, the air cushions
contribute to greener, more sustainable flying.
Safety: The absence of conventional foam
significantly reduces the volume of combustible
material on board.
Lantal’s pneumatic comfort system benefits
passengers, airlines, and the environment.
