having developed the interiors for many of the world’s airlines including lufthansa, malaysia airlines, TAM, thai airways and qatar airways, priestmangoode has been appointed to design the interiors for brazil’s embraer and their new fleet of commercial jets. having worked with the airline previously on their range of executive jets, lineage 1000, this collaboration sees the UK firm conceiving the complete passenger cabin, as well as the interior architecture and seating across all classes applying to the company’s E-jet E2 air crafts. the expansion of this squadron is evidence of embraer’s commitment to invest in its line of commercial jets which will feature state-of-the-art engines, in combination with new aerodynamically advanced wings, full fly-by-wire flight controls, and other system evolutions which are said to result in double digit improvements in fuel burn, maintenance costs, emissions and external noise.
