Airbus is collaborating with startup Chaise Longue to explore the potential of double-decker seating in widebody aircraft. The concept, initially designed for economy class, aims to provide passengers with more space while maintaining the current aircraft footprint. Chaise Longue's founder, Alejandro Nunez Vicente, announced on LinkedIn that they are working with Airbus on early-stage concepts for two-level seating solutions.

"We are proud to announce that CHAISE LONGUE - Elevating Your Experience is exploring some early stage concepts with Airbus on two-level seating solutions for Airbus Aircraft," said Vicente.

The collaboration is still in its initial phases, meaning the project has a long way to go before becoming a reality. However, Airbus's interest in exploring these ideas suggests confidence in the project's potential.

If successful, this innovation could offer airlines new options without significant modifications to existing aircraft models like the A350. The design proposes more legroom and an 'airier' experience for passengers sitting on different levels. At last year's Aviation Interiors Expo, Chaise Longue showcased premium cabin designs featuring business class mini-suites and throne-style first-class suites stacked vertically.

Despite some skepticism about whether double-decker seating will take off commercially, its exploration marks a step towards innovative passenger experiences in aviation.
