Seaborne Airlines has reached agreement with Erie Aviation Inc. to perform aircraft upgrades to its SAAB 340B cabins. The financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed Wednesday.

The new cabin will feature Erie Aviation’s Textile Group/Green Sky Textiles customized new bulkhead covering, new sidewall and new carpeting for the fleet as well as LED cabin lighting with “mood light” option. It introduces some of the latest technology and innovations available in cabin interiors, Seaborne said.
