Local Las Vegas Robotics Company to Conduct Testing That May Lead to Broader Deployments
SINGAPORE, March 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- YY Group Holding Limited (NASDAQ: YYGH) today announced the launch of a robotics pilot program in Las Vegas, Nevada, where the Company will begin testing hospitality and security robots in collaboration with a local Las Vegas robotics company. The pilot program is expected to run for approximately one year, with the goal of evaluating how robotics solutions can improve operational efficiency, service delivery, and security across hospitality environments.
Las Vegas, one of the largest hospitality markets in the world, provides an ideal environment for testing robotics technology at scale. The program will focus on deploying robotics solutions designed to assist with hospitality services and security operations across hotels and commercial properties.
The testing program will evaluate robotics capabilities in real-world hospitality settings, including hotel operations, guest service support, and commercial security monitoring. YY Group believes robotics may help hospitality operators address labor challenges while improving consistency and efficiency in service and safety operations.
If the pilot program proves successful, the Company believes the initiative may lead to additional robotics deployments and potential orders across hospitality properties and security operations throughout Las Vegas.
"Robotics is rapidly becoming an important part of our business," said Mike Fu, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of YY Group Holding Limited. "We have already begun deploying robotics solutions in Malaysia and Singapore, including some of the finest hotels in the world. Given Las Vegas' position as the entertainment capital of the world, it is a natural next step for us to test our robotics products in this dynamic market. We believe the city provides an ideal environment to demonstrate how robotics can support hospitality operations and enhance security services at scale."
Las Vegas attracts tens of millions of visitors annually, making it one of the most active hospitality hubs globally. The Company believes robotics may play an increasingly important role in helping hotels and commercial properties support staff, improve operational efficiency, and enhance security coverage.
YY Group expects to provide updates as testing progresses and as additional opportunities for robotics deployment are evaluated.

YY Group Holding Limited Announces Robotics Pilot Program in Las Vegas Hospitality and Security Markets

- Economy seat pitch on aircraft HL8701 increased from 31 to 33 inches
- Total seat count adjusted from 344 to 326 as part of cabin space and comfort upgrades, including new carpet installation
SEOUL, South Korea, March 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Air Premia, Korea's only hybrid airline, has enhanced passenger comfort by reducing the total number of seats while expanding seat pitch to enhance passenger comfort.
The airline announced that the economy class seat pitch on aircraft HL8701 has been increased from 31 inches to 33 inches. Following the adjustment, the aircraft's total seat capacity has been reduced from 344 seats to 326 seats, a decrease of 18 seats.
Unlike the common industry practice of increasing seat density to improve profitability, Air Premia has focused on expanding seat space to improve passenger comfort and overall travel experience.
The aircraft completed its seat reconfiguration in mid-March and entered service on March 16. Passengers on flights operated by this aircraft will now experience the expanded seat pitch.
Air Premia has been continuously improving seat space to enhance comfort for passengers traveling on long-haul routes. In 2024, the airline also reconfigured two aircraft previously operating with 338 seats, reducing them to 320 seats while expanding economy class seat pitch.
The airline is currently carrying out sequential seat adjustments on aircraft configured with 344 seats, with plans to expand the economy class seat pitch on all aircraft to 33 inches or more within this year.
Air Premia currently operates a fleet of nine aircraft, configured with 309 seats (three aircraft), 320 seats (two aircraft), 326 seats (two aircraft), and 344 seats (two aircraft). All aircraft except the 344-seat configuration currently operate with an economy class seat pitch of 33 inches or greater.
Along with the seat pitch expansion, Air Premia has also replaced the cabin carpet. The newly installed carpet is produced using digital printing technology, allowing the airline's brand identity to be naturally incorporated into the cabin interior design.
In addition, the new carpet is lighter than the previous version, contributing to aircraft weight reduction and supporting environmental benefits such as improved fuel efficiency.
"Air Premia is committed to continuously improving seat space and the cabin environment so that passengers traveling on long-haul routes can enjoy a more comfortable journey," an Air Premia official said. "We will continue to introduce various service enhancements to further elevate the customer experience."
