Acro Aircraft receives Premium Supplier rating from Airbus

Acro Aircraft Seating has been selected by Airbus as Premium Supplier for Economy Class and Premium Economy Class Seats of the BFE catalogue 2023 July release, an influential independent endorsement of Acro’s focus on quality and execution across the design and manufacturing processes.

The supplier support rating for buyer-furnished equipment is published as part of the Airbus Buyer Furnished Equipment (BFE) Product Catalogue to guide customers during their equipment selection process. This rating, which is reviewed every 6 months, is based on three criteria: Delivery performance – Quality Performance – Technical Performance.

Earning ‘Premium Supplier’ status from Airbus is viewed as a major achievement and Neil Cairns, Chief Executive of Acro, is understandably delighted at this latest mark of confidence.

Across the entire journey from design to delivery, we have positioned ourselves as a high performing and trusted supplier. Our superb Economy and Premium Class seating is thoughtfully conceived, making it lighter and more sustainable than ever before, whilst ensuring outstanding value for our customers: a key priority in a challenging marketplace.
