London, December 05, 2023. Jonny Clark, The Design Air

Our customer Hawaiian Airlines was recognized by The Design Air for the 2023 Best New Business Class! We're honored that the Leihōkū Suites, our Ascent product, received this award. "Dubbed Leihōkū Suites, Hawaiian's brand-new Business Class product that will start commercial service in early 2024 is lightyears ahead of its existing wide-body offering. When the seats – which will be found in the airlines new Dreamliner fleet – start flying, they'll be joining the ranks of Qatar Airways and other flag carriers who also fly the brand new Adient [Aerospace] herringbone product."
