AIME 2010: Botany Weaving to sign with Air Arabia
Posted on 1 March 2010 in Aircraft Interiors
Irish textile company Botany Weaving will be signing an exclusive seven-year contract with Air Arabia at the show today.
The family-run company will supply seat fabric, curtains, and carpeting after successfully winning the strict design durability and competitive cost requirements of the Middle East’s first low-cost airline.
“Botany Weaving and Air Arabia are two aviation companies with the same high quality, low-cost philosophy, to give unparalleled value to their customers while maintaining the highest level of service and commitment,” says Jonathan Hackett, CEO of Botany Weaving. “We are not simply about supplying customers with materials they need, but also about creating innovative products that make your aircraft more attractive, comfortable and economical.”
The company has recently launched a range of durable lightweight flat woven fabrics in modern designs and vibrant colours.
“These fabrics are 15% lighter than standard aircraft upholstery constructions and all manufactured in our purpose built facility in Dublin. We also have a new lightweight 100% Nylon carpet which weighs only 1200 grams per square metre,” says Hackett.
To meet its increased carpet production the company took delivery of a new Schonherr weaving machine for its recently completed and purpose built third manufacturing facility in Ireland.
“This came on-line in November and represents a substantial investment by us. Our facility will also house five Moquette Looms and combined with our existing facilities in Dublin and Kilcar will future proof production demands.
No longer do airlines have to pay high prices for excellent design and service,” says Hackett.
Besides the new Air Arabia deal, customers within the region include Etihad, Saudia, Syria Air and Iran Air.
