STELIA Aerospace redefines business class comfort with the reinvented RENDEZ-VOUS at AIX 2025

STELIA Aerospace has officially launched the next-generation RENDEZ-VOUS, setting a new benchmark for luxury, flexibility, and comfort in business class seating. Unveiled today at Aircraft Interiors Expo 2025, this reinvention of the 2023-launched RENDEZ-VOUS is not just an upgrade—it’s a transformation, designed to cater to the evolving needs of modern air travel.

Retaining its signature “sofa” layout and renowned spaciousness, the new RENDEZ-VOUS delivers unparalleled comfort and an exclusive “home-in-the-sky” experience. However, the 2025 edition brings a host of groundbreaking enhancements, including:

- Increased personal space & enhanced ergonomics – A reengineered layout offers more room to stretch, relax, and work, ensuring a seamless long-haul experience.

- Optimised privacy features – Redesigned partitioning and smart configurations provide personalised comfort, ideal for both business and leisure travelers.

- Smart storage solutions – Maximised storage options keep personal belongings within reach, yet discreetly out of sight.

- Seamless access & intuitive design – Effortless entry and exit, thanks to repositioned access points and an intuitive layout.

- Next-gen materials & sustainable innovation – Incorporating lighter, eco-conscious materials, RENDEZ-VOUS is designed to reduce fuel consumption while enhancing durability and aesthetics.

“This new version of RENDEZ-VOUS is a true game-changer,” says Thierry Kanengieser, VP Cabin Interior at STELIA Aerospace. “We have taken the concept of a business-class seat and elevated it to an entirely new level—delivering the perfect balance of space, privacy, and sophistication, all while integrating smart, future-ready solutions for airlines.”

With its ability to adapt to multiple aircraft platforms, from Airbus to Boeing widebody fleets, the new RENDEZ-VOUS is versatile, efficient, and tailored for next generation premium travel.
