The seat design in the helicopter was the Generation I crew seating which includes the individual crew seat and also a matching dual crew seat. The seating in the rear of the helicopter consists of the four Generation IV rear high back seats across the back row. Also supplied was a set of utility squabs for the rear bench seats. These are often fitted instead of the 4-place seating when the operator is carrying personnel and equipment that could damage the regular seating. 

The seat covers are styled to reflect the branding. The main leather color used is lead grey with the inserts using a perforated titanium grey leather. The dual seat is an aftermarket modification that is often fitted by tour operators to increase the seating capacity to seven.

The client's logo was embroidered onto the headrests in full color with the lucent grey and aqua blue wave thread. The covers are stitched with the same lucent grey thread on the double stitching on the outer seams.
