Porter Airlines has announced a comprehensive cabin refresh for its De Havilland Dash 8-400 turboprop fleet. The airline is installing Expliseat’s TiSeat 2V seats, which feature redesigned cushions, updated tray tables, and integrated device holders, alongside LED mood lighting and new carpeting. The configuration remains unchanged with 78 seats in a 2-2 layout, offering 32 inches of pitch in PorterReserve and 30 inches in PorterClassic. The first aircraft is already in service, with the remaining 28 planes to be retrofitted over the coming months. Porter cites customer feedback regarding seat comfort as the driver for the update, aiming to address complaints about thin padding despite the tight pitch
