MYA Short Range economy seat
A lightweight, high-density economy seat designed for short-sector narrowbody operations where turnaround speed and seat-count maximisation are primary drivers.
MYA Short Range is the high-density economy variant in Aviointeriors' MYA seat family, engineered for carriers where sector length, cabin throughput, and operating cost per seat are the dominant procurement criteria. Sharing the MYA platform architecture, it targets short-haul and point-to-point operations on Boeing 737 and Airbus A320-family aircraft — the workhorses of both LCC networks and domestic trunk routes across the GCC. The seat is built around a slim-profile structure with reduced component count versus traditional economy seats. At approximately 10 kg per passenger — a figure Aviointeriors publishes across the MYA family — it reduces take-off weight per seat station without sacrificing the structural certification requirements of CS-25 dynamic testing. Ergonomic comfort is preserved through Italian-designed cushion profiling and a headrest geometry calibrated for short-sector passenger posture, delivering what the manufacturer characterises as maximum comfort at minimum pitch. A full customisation programme covers leather and fabric trim, stitching, colour palette, and literature-pocket configuration, enabling the seat to carry an airline's cabin livery while remaining on a standard-production tooling set — reducing both upfront non-recurring cost and spare-parts complexity across a fleet. The MYA Short Range has been selected for a 737 fleet programme (Cabo Verde Airlines Critical Design Review completed), confirming its production readiness and certification pathway on a current-generation narrowbody. For GCC and wider Middle East LCCs or point-to-point carriers operating domestic and regional networks at high frequency and high load factors, the seat's weight, density, and certified-production status make it a directly relevant procurement option.
