Tim Clark Talks Passenger Comfort

Here at the Dubai air show, we asked Tim Clark, president of Emirates Airline what he thought of the Airbus 18-inchcampaign. “It off-sided me a little bit,” Clark told us. “Can we do an 18 inch? Yes, everybody likes as wide a seat as possible.” But it’s clearly not a one-size-fits-all situation when you look at geographical body mass differences. Clark points out that a wider seat is less critical for the leaner Asian market, but in American and European markets, 18 inches is far too small. “In fact, you need 36 inches if the truth be told,” Clark told us. Watch the video to see what he had to say.
