Press Release hub banner blue with title in red white and blueRenowned globally as a leader in cabin interiors and a key player in Premium passenger seating, STELIA Aerospace is looking forward to exhibiting at Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) 2025, taking place from April 8 to 10. The brand will showcase its latest innovations in luxurious and bespoke seating solutions for premium air travel.

This year, all eyes will be on the much-anticipated evolution of RENDEZ-VOUS®. Originally launched in 2023, this next-generation business-class seat is making a bold return, with a brand-new, redesigned version. This next-generation seat is tailored for the wide-body market, delivering enhanced space, superior comfort, increased storage, seamless access and a smart design adaptable to multiple platforms. And while it retains its signature “sofa” layout, making it one of the widest and most inviting seats in its class, STELIA Aerospace hints that the new RENDEZ-VOUS® comes with a surprising twist—set to redefine the premium travel experience. 

What’s new? What’s next? Join us for an exclusive unveiling during AIX 2025. 

Also on display will be the entire OPERA® family, a business class range featuring a signature reverse herringbone design that provides a window view and natural privacy. Providing passengers with unmatched comfort and the widest full-flat bed on single-aisle, the OPERA® family ensures a lavish experience regardless of the aircraft type, from single-aisle to widebody, short-haul to long-haul, on Airbus and Boeing platforms. 

Additionally, STELIA Aerospace will introduce an upgraded version “Business Class +” of its OPERA Single-Aisle: a front row high-end seat with enhanced privacy. This premium seat offers greater customisation possibilities for airlines, integrating innovative technologies and a new signature lighting system.
