The European Aviation Safety Agency recently issued certification for a VIP cabin interior developed by Jet Aviation’s Basel completions center for a Boeing Business Jet 737-700. The cabin interior installation was completed three months ahead of schedule and the BBJ1 model is currently undergoing high-precision custom paintwork at the Jet Aviation paint shop. The interior was designed by the Jet Aviation Basel design studio.

“Out-performing the schedule by such a large margin is a real feat on its own account,” said Adam White, senior director of completions engineering at Jet Aviation Basel. “It is out comprehensive in-house capabilities and teamwork that makes it possible for us to outfit green aircraft with innovative design, state-of-the-art technology and uncompromising luxury inside a timeline that is well below customer expectations.”

The BBJ’s interior accommodates 13 passengers and features a crew area, modern galley, spacious open-plan dining area and lounge, guest area, master bedroom and a customized master bathroom. It is equipped with WiFi, satellite communications, iPod connectivity and AC outlets for charging devices.

Meanwhile in other news announced by Jet Aviation at the MEBA show yesterday, Jet Aviation Basel has been selected to perform the world’s first C-check on a Dassault 7X. The aircraft will be re-delivered in February 2015 after 8,500 man-hours of work has been performed. Fabien Fuster, director of Dassault Falcon maintenance at Jet Aviation Basel, said, “We have assigned over 40 fully qualified and highly competent technicians to ensure the highest safety and quality standards.”
