EasyJet’s New Slimline Seats Will Offer 2 Inches More Legroom

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article in The Times.

This is the sub-heading.

The Kestrel seat’s thinner design promises improved knee and shin clearance. Could the ‘fixed recline’ feature also lead to fewer spats over space?

These three paragraphs add more detail to the story.

As budget airlines try to squeeze more and more passengers onto flights, it can feel as though the seat in front gets slightly closer every time you step on a plane.

But a “next generation” economy seat is coming, which its makers say will give travellers extra legroom with no loss of space for airlines.

The Kestrel seat from Mirus Aircraft Seating, a British manufacturer, will be installed from 2028 on hundreds of easyJet’s new aircraft, providing an extra two inches of “improved knee and shin clearance” for passengers.

Hopefully easyJet’s passengers will be sitting more comfortably.
