The “mini-suite in the sky” was first unveiled in 2020 and was built to enhance the travel experience with additional privacy features and premier living space. With the lightweight structure, combined with the efficient seat configuration, Recaro Aircraft Seating says the CL6720 can save airlines thousands in fuel costs and help reduce their carbon footprint.
