Flite Case Study

Product catalog summary

Introduction: Gatwick Airport, a long-standing client of OMK Design, sought to refurbish their North and South terminals with durable and high-performance seating solutions. Previously, they had used OMK's Trax seating range, which lasted over 25 years.

Solution: OMK introduced the Flite seating system, designed specifically for high-density airport environments. Flite maximizes seating capacity and includes flexible, integrated power options. The system is fully customizable, and for Gatwick, OMK provided a bespoke colorway and upgraded power modules to meet strict electrical standards. A notable feature is the power-ready beam system, allowing for cost-effective and minimally disruptive power upgrades.

Planning: After the North Terminal installation, OMK's design team developed seating layouts for the South Terminal. They worked with the airport authority to optimize seating across various zones, including boarding gates, retail areas, and priority seating sections.

Delivery and Installation: OMK coordinated a complex, phased delivery and installation process from their London headquarters. The team ensured that all elements met high standards for quality, function, and longevity, with on-site presence throughout the project.

Company Background: OMK Design Ltd., with over 60 years of experience in public seating, is headquartered in London, managing global sales, design, and production.
