Description
The CL3810 is a lightweight economy class seat designed for long-haul commercial aviation by Recaro Aircraft Seating [RECARO Aircraft Seating GmbH & Co. KG]. As the direct successor to the widely deployed CL3710, this model incorporates weight-optimised materials and a refined internal structure to decrease total cabin mass. The design focus is on enhancing individual passenger space at standard pitch intervals through a slim backrest profile and a modular frame adaptable to various wide-body configurations. This product is marketed primarily to full-service network carriers and global aircraft leasing companies for both new-build line-fit and retrofitting older fleets. Notable operators that have selected the seat include Qatar Airways [القطريات] for their Boeing 777X fleet and Lufthansa [Deutsche Lufthansa AG] as part of a multi-year cabin overhaul. Sales are typically managed via large-scale supply contracts, often bundled with other seat types to simplify maintenance and spare parts logistics. The Aerospace Garage desk suggests verifying exact weight savings per shipset against previous iterations to confirm fuel efficiency gains. Buyers should confirm the integration requirements for specific third-party In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) hardware and power outlets. While the reduced mass is a clear advantage, the durability of the lightweight composite components under high-utilisation, long-haul conditions remains a factor to monitor through early operator reliability reports.
