General Atomics AeroTec Systems’s business jet unit in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany, has delivered what it said was a “very challenging” exterior and interior refurbishment project on an Embraer Legacy 650. The delivery to an Indian customer was made on time last week.


Begun in April, the project included new VIP exterior paint and a complete cabin refurbishment, including the use of fine wood and leather materials, as well as the installation of an ionizer air and surface purification system. Cabin lighting replicating sunrise and sunset and controlled by a mobile app also was included.


“The paint job and technical execution are excellent. I was particularly impressed that even the finest details of the paint job were executed precisely with desired sharpness and quality,” said Apco Infratech-India managing director Anil Kuma Singh. “My sincere appreciation to the entire team for coming up with the interior finishes, particularly the wood veneer, polishing, and leather work, executed exactly the way it was envisioned at the beginning of the project.”
