VIP Completions and its interior design partner ARRCC recently unveiled a fully refurbished Dassault Falcon 7X they did as a joint project. The Florida-based group’s sister company, SmartJets, arranged the acquisition of the long-range trijet on behalf of an undisclosed customer.
The work inside the 7X included integrating LED accent lights into the headliner. Cabin bulkheads were covered in a sand-blasted bronze mirror finish and paneling was trimmed with solid white oak fluting. The entire project, including exterior paint work, took 10 weeks to complete.
“Our client, a passionate and driven fintech entrepreneur, wanted to push the envelope in terms of what an aircraft refurbishment could accomplish,” said Ben Shirazi, president of VIP Completions and SmartJets. “For us, this was a true end-to-end project. Our SmartJets team identified and acquired the optimal aircraft. Then, the talented team at ARRCC—having also completed multiple projects for this client—delivered the final design.”
The cabin interior features three main areas, including a forward main lounge, a mid-cabin conference and dining area, and an aft stateroom with two dual divans. There is also a forward galley, and separate lavatories forward and aft for crew and passengers, respectively.
Cabin management and inflight entertainment systems include a Gogo L5 connectivity system, Kaleidescape media server, forward and aft HD monitors, and an Alto audio system.
