Completions work on the cabin interior of this aircraft is scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2012.

The spacious cabin interior of the aircraft has been designed by Studio E/motions. The layout for the BBJ3 aircraft includes a spacious living area, a conference/dining room and a private bedroom with en-suite bathroom.

“We look forward to working on this custom-designed narrow-body completions project, which will enable us to utilize the best of our cabin interior-design expertise,” said Neil Boyle, Jet Aviation Basel’s vice president completions centre.

Jet Aviation Basel has recently delivered two newly completed Airbus 340s – an A340-600 and an A340-300 – to undisclosed customers. Both aircraft feature highly customized V.V.I.P. interiors, breaking new boundaries when it comes to cabin detailing and complexity.

The two aircraft were designed by Studio E/motions and Andrew Winch Designs, respectively.

“It has been a pleasure to work with some of the leading aviation design studios to complete these highly intricate completion projects,“ said Elisabeth Harvey, Jet Aviation Basel’s interior design manager. “With such beautiful and complex designs, as well use of new materials in each aircraft, it has been hugely rewarding to see these projects come to fruition.”

Jet Aviation Basel is a world-renowned completions and maintenance centre employing more than 1,600 professionals.

The facility has in-house design and engineering departments, along with on-site cabinetry, upholstery, fibreglass and paint shops. The organisation is capable of outfitting jets as large as an Airbus A380 or the Boeing 747-8 series.
