Middle East airline awards MacCarthy Aviation lavatory upgrade contract

The contract is worth in excess of £4 million, with the first ship set due by the end of August.

 

“The lavatory kits we are supplying underpins the significant investment our customer is making in upgrading their cabins for their fleet of over thirty Airbus aircraft," said Phil Francis, sales & marketing director at MacCarthy.  "We won the contract on the back of exhibiting at Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg where we showcased a concept lavatory, so things have moved extremely quickly since then.

 

"The kits include; new LED Lighting package, Corian Worktop with stainless steel sink, soft close toilet seat, floor pan and mat, faucet, amenity stowage basket and vanity cabinet door which will be manufactured and kitted at our facility near Gatwick Airport. We will be shipping two ship sets a month for the next 18 months starting in August.

 

"Refurbishing and upgrading aircraft lavatories is a speciality of ours, particularly for Airbus and Boeing aircraft. Over the last twelve months we have upgraded business class and economy class lavatories for Air Astana, Brussels Airlines, Sri Lankan Airlines and Transaero for A330, A340, B737 and B767 aircraft and supplied uplift kits for numerous customers for A320 aircraft particularly our Beresford range of Corian worktops.”
