LC090 PU Aluminium Airport Terminal Chair
An ergonomically shaped PU aluminium terminal chair optimised for passenger dwell comfort in international gate lounges and transit corridors.
The LC090 is described across HEWEI's marketing as 'PU Airport Terminal Chairs with Ergonomic Aluminum Waiting Seats', placing it as the ergonomically developed option within the aluminium-framed PU range — a notch above the mid-range LC138 in terms of seat shaping and passenger comfort, without reaching the premium finish level of the fully die-cast LC098. The seat and backrest are moulded integrated PU foam over a built-in steel frame, using HEWEI's standard seamless construction. The ergonomic designation typically refers to a contoured lumbar profile on the backrest and a seat pan geometry that distributes load more evenly across the seated thigh — relevant for terminals where passengers wait 60 to 90 minutes before boarding long-haul sectors. The aluminium alloy frame provides the corrosion resistance and clean visual weight associated with the upper tier of HEWEI's range without the added cost of fully die-cast investment-mould construction. The LC090 is suited to international transit terminals, long-haul gate lounges, and multi-hour dwell areas where operators want to differentiate comfort quality from the basic gate-seating standard but cannot justify individual lounge seating at scale. This is a common specification challenge for GCC airport expansion projects, where wide-body international departures share concourse gate furniture with connecting transfer passengers spending 90-plus minutes in the same seats. Available in 2- to 5-seat configurations; standard colours include black, grey, blue, orange, and dark green. Pantone custom colours available at volume. An 8-year warranty applies.
