British Airways extends Muirhead contract

16/10/2013
British Airways has selected Muirhead leather for 130 aircraft including the Airbus A319, A320 and A321 models, with the leather used on every seat.

Muirhead is working with BE Aerospace on this project, which is due for completion at the end of 2013.
Originally specified in 1998, Muirhead leather seating has flown on high density routes since.

Paul Taylor, manager of the ‘engineering customer excellence’ division of British Airways, said: “We have been very impressed with the leather and the length of time it has lasted on a very busy fleet.”

Archie Browning, sales director of Muirhead Leather, added: “British Airways is a brand we are incredibly proud to be working with. The initial leather used has been in continuous service for over 10 years and we are certain the refurbishment will match that, or even last longer.”
