F/List Expands Capabilities Through Acquisitions
F/List Germany offers a variety of cabin cleaning and refurbishment services, as well as IFE and CMS upgrades.

F/List (Booth T110) is stepping up its aftermarket services. Last month, the company started along this path by acquiring OHS Aviation Services to create the new F/List Germany. Now the company offers a one-stop-shop capable of performing all types of maintenance and cabin upgrades, from cleaning and touch-up of cabin furnishings to full cabin refurbishments and installation of new cabin equipment.

F/List Germany's location at Berlin Schönefeld Airport led to a close relationship with the airport's Bombardier authorized service facility, Lufthansa Bombardier Aviation Services (LBAS); both companies have long experience with Bombardier jets and thus they are cooperating on various projects. This includes, according to F/List, "exterior cleaning, polishing and partial painting over carpet and surface cleaning to re-upholstery, re-veneering, re-plating of hardware, touch-ups, and repairs of cabinets."

In addition, F/List Germany offers many more services—available during regular maintenance downtime—such as pre-engineered retrofit packages, installation of Lufthansa's nice HD inflight entertainment and cabin management system and new cabin interiors featuring new sideledges and illuminated wood flooring. Many of these upgrade opportunities are possible due to the proximity of Inairvation, which is also located at Berlin Schönefeld. The pre-engineered retrofit packages are available for the Bombardier Global and Challenger series and Gulfstream G450 and G550 models.
