Jet Aviation Redelivers Bespoke Hand-Crafted VVIP Narrow-Body Interior

Our Bureau - : May 10, 2023 - : 8:51 am

Jet Aviation, General Dynamics subsidiary, recently redelivered a bespoke interior for an ACJ319neo, to an undisclosed customer. The custom interior was designed in-house, and hand-crafted and installed by Jet Aviation Basel.

The contemporary Art Deco interior was created through close collaboration between the Jet Aviation Design Studio, the customer, and the customer’s interior architect, Colin Radcliffe. It features a monochrome palette executed in dark woods and tiling, contrasted with beige and gold upholstery and finishes.

“Every interior we create is completely bespoke, hand-crafted by our team of some 200 skilled artisans in Basel, Switzerland,” says Christoph Fondalinski, vice president completions, Jet Aviation. “This particular design featured incredibly beautiful and complex detailing throughout, such as the statement ‘sunburst’ veneer marquetry bulkheads in the living area, delicate open pore walnut veneer, and a custom-dyed ombre carpet.”

The cabin features a large living and dining space with custom-crafted ‘wingback’ seating and sofa areas, a separate office with specially sourced embroidered wall finishings, and an ensuite bedroom with bathroom in golden black marble and beige onyx.

“The customer requested a modern take on the Art Deco period, accented with beautiful, intricate detailing throughout the entire cabin,” says Grischa Schmidt, senior director of the Jet Aviation design studio. “Each piece has been carefully considered to bring its own striking effect as part of one and seamless whole.”

The aircraft arrived in Basel in July 2022 and was redelivered in March 2023, some eight months later.

Jet Aviation Basel offers maintenance, refurbishment and completion. The site has six hangars and can accommodate aircraft up to the Boeing 747. In 2021, a new 8,000 square foot completion center was opened, bringing the cabinet shop, interiors and finishing shops, and sheet metal shops together in one location.
