ÉireComposites, a specialist in advanced composite structures, has entered the commercial aircraft seating market with its first production contract. 

The company will supply an initial batch of composite interior panels and structural components for premium aircraft seating systems, where lightweight construction, strength, and surface quality are essential.

Until now, ÉireComposites primarily provided composite structures for aerospace and industrial applications. This marks its first venture into passenger-facing cabin interiors, applying its expertise to components that are visible to end users.

“Winning our first production contract in aircraft seating is a significant milestone for ÉireComposites,” said Tomas Flanagan, CEO of ÉireComposites. “It shows strong confidence in our technical capability, quality standards, and ability to meet the high requirements of premium cabin products. We see this as the start of an important new growth area for the business.”

The initial production batch supports an active aircraft seating programme, with potential for higher-volume production as the programme advances. To meet the exacting standards of cabin interiors, ÉireComposites has invested in new tooling, process development, and quality controls to ensure consistency and premium finishes.

The company’s expansion into aircraft seating aligns with broader industry trends: reducing aircraft weight, improving fuel efficiency, and enhancing passenger experience through advanced composites. By entering this growing segment, ÉireComposites strengthens its position as a trusted aerospace manufacturer while opening new revenue streams in the interiors supply chain.

ÉireComposites will showcase its capabilities at the 2026 Aircraft Interiors Exhibition (AIX) in Hamburg, Germany, engaging with aircraft seating and cabin interiors partners to expand its role in the global interiors market.
