Southwest Airlines will equip new aircraft deliveries with the BL3710 economy class seat from RECARO. The Dallas-based airline will begin taking deliveries in 2025.

Southwest Airlines is refreshing its aircraft seats and uniforms as the air carrier looks to modernize its brand.

In partnership with RECARO, an aircraft seating firm founded in Fort Worth, Southwest is adding seats with its heart threaded through the interior and sunray pattern, and an adjustable headrest cushion. The Dallas-based carrier is also working with design firm Tangerine to update cabin interiors for its deliveries next year. The aircraft will still keep the Southwest blue while adding the carrier’s signature heart woven into the carpet. The upgrades also include a personal electronic device holder.
