Freestream Aircraft hires Sarah Mespelt to manage interiors

Sarah Mespelt has joined Freestream Aircraft as a design coordinator. She will manage the Freestream Interior Room at Teterboro Airport in New York.

Freestream Aircraft designed and completed two Gulfstream G IV-SP’s, three Bombardier Global XRS and one G550 aircraft during 2010. It is completing one G550 for delivery in the first quarter of 2011 and working on two Bombardier Global XRSs and one Boeing BBJ II.

“Having worked with Sarah on several large-cabin aircraft design projects during her tenure at Savannah Air Centre, I felt that her dedication and attention to detail was of such a high standard that I wanted her on my team,” said Alireza Ittihadieh, Freestream’s CEO. “She is already involved in a US$3 million G IV-SP refurbishment, to be followed immediately with work on the BBJ2 interior project with Lufthansa Technik and world-renowned designer Marc Newson.”

She joins from Gulfstream Aerospace and Jet Aviation where she was an interior designer. Mespelt has managed over 25 new aircraft completions and pre-owned refurbishments on GIV, GV, Globals XRS and 5000 aircraft as well as Challenger 850 and Falcons. She holds degrees in architecture and interior design from Savannah College of Art and Design.
