Italian Company Unveils Post-Pandemic Airplane Design

Italian design firm Avio Interiors has revealed its vision for airplane seats post-coronavirus - and they look very different to most current seats. If you're a regular traveler, it's likely you'll have experienced a cramped flight in which you're squeezed in next to several other passengers.

Italian design firm Avio Interiors has revealed its vision for airplane seats post-coronavirus, and they look very different to most current seats. Avio Interiors has created concepts for two distanced seats, dubbed Glassafe and Janus.

Both solutions created a physical divide between passengers, reducing the risk of any germs being shared. The first concept, Glassafe, features transparent dividers between the passenger seats. The Janus concept features seats that alternate facing forwards and backwards, and are fitted with protective shields.
