At Home in the Air

06/2026

Perfectly designed living and working spaces promote well-being – not just at home or in the office, but also on the go. This is especially true where comfort, functionality, and sustainability come together in a confined space: in aviation.
For over 60 years, we have been developing specialized carpet solutions for aircraft of all types. With our AIRlight® carpet, we are setting new standards for modern cabin interiors:

  • Minimal weight
  • Maximum comfort
  • High durability
  • Resource-efficient solutions

When developing our aircraft carpets, we consider far more than just the design: sustainability, quality, and safety are just as much a focus as efficient installation and cleaning on the aircraft. For our AIRlight® products, we use weft yarns made from 100% Econyl®, a recycled polyester. The yarns are processed and quality-tested in-house—to meet the highest standards for durability, sustainability, and greater comfort in everyday flight operations. 

To develop comprehensive solutions for the aviation industry, we collaborate with tesa and SHOU on fastening solutions, and with Aquafil and rohi on sustainable materials and innovative components. Innovation is taking off – and we’re flying along with it. 

In your opinion, how important are sustainable materials and comfort in modern aircraft cabins?
