New aircraft seat protects passengers’ health

Flying by aeroplane will soon be more comfortable thanks to a new state-of-the-art aircraft seat that is both healthier for passengers and friendlier to the environment.

Travelling on aircraft can mean long hours of sitting. This immobility exposes passengers to the risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot that forms in the deep veins of the leg, either in the calf or thigh. Passengers are therefore encouraged to move about on long-haul flights to improve blood circulation.
