Air France Debuts Embraer 190 with Stylish New Cabin Interiors
Air France has recently introduced its first flight featuring the upgraded Embraer E190 aircraft, complete with enhanced cabin interiors.
The flight, designated AF1602, was conducted by Air France’s subsidiary HOP!, taking off from Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) at 07:40 local time and landing at Hamburg Airport (HAM) at 09:05.
Air France’s new Embraer E190 showcases a seating arrangement of 110 seats in a comfortable 2-2 configuration. Each seat is carefully upholstered in leather and features ergonomic foam for enhanced comfort. Measuring 46 cm in width, the seats can recline up to three inches, allowing for a more enjoyable travel experience. Additional amenities include a tray table, optimized storage solutions, fold-up armrests, and a coat hook, while the headrests are adjustable for better support.
Passengers can also take advantage of a retractable stand designed for portable devices, featuring a ribbed surface to hold smartphones or tablets securely. Each seat is equipped with both USB A and C ports for convenient charging, accommodating various devices, including laptops.
In the business class section, located in the front rows, passengers will find mobile curtains offering increased privacy. Starting October 2025, each passenger in business class will enjoy the luxury of an empty seat beside them, adding to their comfort.
The cabin design draws inspiration from Air France’s signature colors, predominantly featuring shades of blue. Each seat headrest is embroidered with the iconic Air France accent, a detail that extends to the rear cabin walls.
As part of its commitment to sustainability and reducing carbon emissions, Air France’s new seats on the retrofitted E190 are 30% lighter than current models. This change helps lower the overall weight of the aircraft, contributing to decreased fuel consumption and reduced CO2 emissions.
