Nowadays, any situation that includes queues, crowds, or interaction with others can cause anxiety for many, and it seems it will be a trend we can expect to continue.

Pure Skies Zones a.k.a Economy Class is designed with dividing screens for every other row, it offers greater separation. The seat configuration provides maximum feeling of personal space and allows passengers to sit in the groups they’re traveling with.

Each seat comes with wireless charging feature and integrated UVC cleaning, there’s a backlit safety cared integrated with the back shell to display information when needed. The seat fabric comes with photochromic and thermochromic inks that react to new cleaning methods just like UVC and heat cleaning.
