Jet Aviation Partners with “Big Names” to Develop VVIP Solution for Airbus ACJ380
GENEVA / May 29, 2018 – Jet Aviation is partnering with Sparfell & Partners, Winch Design and DS Aviation to develop a VVIP market solution for the Airbus ACJ380. Under the agreement, Jet Aviation will engineer, manage, manufacture, install and certify (STC) a VVIP cabin interior for the ACJ380.
As an approved Airbus completions facility with more than 40 years of completions experience and expertise, Jet Aviation is uniquely qualified to integrate VIP cabins on the largest airframes in the market, such as the ACJ380. The company has successfully delivered 23 Airbus cabin interiors for single-aisle and wide-body Airbus corporate jets since 2000, from ACJ319 to ACJ340-600, and has a demonstrable track record with successful cabin integrations on large aircraft, including the Airbus ACJ340 and the Boeing BBJ747. With its 10,000 square-meter hangar in Basel, it is also one of few completions centers in the industry that can accommodate aircraft the size of the ACJ380 for VIP platforms.
“We’ve been excited about this project since Sparfell first approached us with their concept to pool all of our collective expertise to bring a completions solution for the ACJ380 to the market,” said Matt Woollaston, VP Completions Sales & Design. "Our in-house design, engineering and production teams have worked closely with Winch Design on many projects over the years and we’re equally pleased to collaborate with aviation experts at Sparfell & Partners and DS Aviation."
Jet Aviation is exhibiting at EBACE from May 29 - 31, 2018. Please take the time to visit us at the Jet Aviation Booth (# A18).
