About TCI Aircraft Interiors
TCI Aircraft Interiors was founded in 2023 through the strategic merger of TCI Cabin Interior, TSI Seats and Cornea Aerosystems, bundling decades of experience in aircraft seats, galley and lavatory systems as well as in-flight entertainment and connectivity technologies. The company develops and manufactures aircraft seats, cabin interiors including monuments and galleys, and IFEC systems, and as an SHT-145-authorized maintenance and repair station (Part 145) offers repair, maintenance and modification of cabin interior components. The portfolio is complemented by spare parts supply, product repair, technical support and PMA design and development services from design through testing to certification and production. A dedicated Test Center in Istanbul Pendik conducts flammability tests in accordance with 14 CFR 25.853 and CS 25.853, including Bunsen burner and oil burn tests. Production and R&D sites are located in Istanbul, Seattle and Frankfurt am Main; customers include airlines such as Turkish Airlines, AJet, Somon Air, Arajet and 9 Air as well as OEM and partners such as Airbus, Dolby, Türksat and Neo Space Group.
