Greenpoint Technologies has updated Corporate Jet Investor on two of the most lavish interior options for Boeing Business Jets, the Aeroloft and the Aerolift, both available to owners of VIP-configured Boeing 747-8s.
As one of the original recognised Boeing Business Jet completion centres, Greenpoint Technologies is due to deliver the fifth 747-8 Aeroloft cabin in 2015 – which provides eight private sleeping berths between the aircraft’s main cabin and the upper-deck – with more orders expected before the end of 2014.
The company also predicts that it will deliver the first unit of its latest product, the Aerolift, within the next two or three years.

Christine Hadley, senior manager, marketing, says: “The Aerolift is an elevator that permits ground to main deck access for up to four persons or in the case of limited mobility, two persons, a wheel-chaired passenger and an attendant.”
Hadley adds: “The Aerolift provides a secure ‘royal’ entrance to the Boeing 747-8 VIP aircraft. Contracting for this program will occur this year with certification and delivery estimated at eighteen months from contract award.”
So far, the cost of the Aerolift remains undisclosed due to customer confidentiality.
The Aerolift, designed by Greenpoint, provides VIP access from the runway to the upper-deck of the Boeing 747-8.
Headquartered in Kirkland, Washington, Greenpoint Technologies is part of the Greenpoint umbrella of the companies, which also includes Odyssey Aerospace Components, Greenpoint Products and Services and Greenpoint Aerospace and employs over 400 staff.
“Our close relationship with The Boeing Company allows us to develop state of the art solutions for our VIP customers by providing them with the best in luxury, utility and safety,” says Hadley.

“Our clients are from all over the world,” adds Hadley. “China and the Middle East are definitely areas of focus.”
Last year, Greenpoint received the Silver Boeing Performance Excellence Award.
