Haeco Private Jet Solutions (HPJS) has introduced Zen, a “minimalist, modern and stylish” cabin concept for the A320neo, “a retreat from the busy hustle and bustle,” said Henry Chan, commercial vice president of the Xiamen, China-based bizliner completion specialist. Zen incorporates the colors and motifs of the four seasons, as in the floral patterns of cherry blossoms (spring), lotus (summer), chrysanthemums (autumn) and plum blossoms (winter) that help define the cabin zones.

The design provides a multifunctional tatami room “for meditation, or casual meetings or just lying around,” said Chan. HPJC can create the Zen cabin—also adaptable to a BBJ interior—for any interested owner, but the concept is intended as a starting point for developing a more personalized interior. “If they like 50 percent of the elements, that’s a great place to get people talking,” said Chan. “I don’t know 100 percent of what my wife wants, let alone a billionaire.”

Chan noted certification efforts typically focus on meeting FAA and EASA requirements, but China’s CAAC certification rules are gaining importance in completions work, and HPJS—the only Airbus and Boeing authorized completion facility in the Asia-Pacific region—works with all three agencies.
