As part of the strategy to improve the level of passenger service, Somon Air launched a program to update passenger seats in its aircraft. As part of the program, we will replace outdated seats with new ones. The Elesa economy class seat model manufactured by TCI (Türkiye) was chosen as the new seats. The presentation of the seats was successfully held earlier in Dushanbe at the International Tourism Exhibition DITE-2024 and received good reviews. The comfortable seats have a Bi-fold back mounted tray table, literature pockets, and a coat hook. The seats are equipped with a mechanically controlled recline mechanism and an armrest. Gadget lovers will love the new feature of the seats - they have a stand for personal electronic devices integrated into the table, on which passengers can place a mobile phone or tablet for working or viewing content during the flight. The new seat design with the company logo imprinted on the backrest reflects the evolution of onboard branding. #somonair
