UAE’s Focus on blending cutting-edge technology and luxury to re-define in-flight experiences to boost the aircraft cabin interiors market
The UAE is slowly moving into the innovation of aeronautics aesthetics, combining state-of-the-art technology with luxury to provide passengers with better experiences, given that it is a world aviation hub. As a global leader in premium travel, the UAE's airlines also use data and passenger insights to design cabin interiors for each passenger's needs. The country has set benchmarks for cabin innovations in the Middle Eastern region, with the flag flown by carriers Emirates and Etihad.
In November 2023, Safran received a number of contracts worth more than US$1.2 billion from Emirates, the world's largest international airline. This includes a US $1 billion* contract for new-generation Safran seats for Emirates' current fleet of Boeing 777-300 aircraft, Airbus A350, and Boeing 777X-9 aircraft. This includes new-generation premium economy seats, fully flat business-class configurations, and upgraded in-flight entertainment systems. In May 2024, Emirates will refit 191 aircraft with new interiors. The list includes 110 Airbus A380s and 81 Boeing 777s in total. This project includes premium economy seating and renewed cabin designs, thus restating the airline's commitment to offering unmatched comfort for all travel classes.

The UAE's strategic location and world-class infrastructure make it more focused on innovation. Global leaders in interior specialties like Soisa Aircraft Interiors have expanded their facilities in Dubai South, quadrupling the size to match the increased demand for cabin upgrades and customizations within the region. This development further emphasizes the UAE's status as a crucial participant in the aircraft interior supply chain.
The UAE's air cabin interiors market is thus seen to sustain growth with strong government support, growing passenger expectations, and commitment from leading airlines to innovation. Combining luxury, technology, and sustainability, aviation continues to reach new heights in the UAE since that country redefines "comfort" and "class."
