Collins Aerospace's Philippines Facility Delivers First Set of Seats to Airbus

Collins Aerospace has shipped its first seating order from its facility in Tanauan City, Philippines, to Airbus.

The delivery of the Meridian main cabin seat supports an airline customer's narrow-body linefit program, offering passengers ergonomic comfort, increased living space and ample in-seat storage.

Christophe Blanc, Vice President and General Manager of Aircraft Seating for Collins Aerospace, said "Adding main cabin seating production to our Philippines facility is a critical milestone in the future of Collins' seating business.

The continued growth of our seating operations in the Philippines not only represents new business and additional jobs in the local area but provides crucial proximate seating support for our customers in the Asia Pacific region."

Established in 2012, Collins' Philippines facility manufactures a variety of cabin interior products, including galleys, galley inserts, oxygen equipment, and lavatories.
