RUAG Aviation delivers first cabin completion

RUAG Aviation has recently delivered a Bombardier CRJ200 airliner converted into a ten seat luxury VIP aircraft.

The aircraft layout has been completely overhauled, the interior designed to accommodeate ten passengers in comfort.

A private VIP area, a club seating and dining area as well as a lounge equipped with in-flight entertainment systems have been installed. The newly integrated wireless cabin entertainment systems run a browser-based application that allows passengers to control audio, video, cabin lighting and the electric window shades via their tablets or smartphones.

“For RUAG Aviation, this project represents a successful launch into the European completion market, where we will be providing personalised designs and full customisation with minimal cost and downtime,” said Ulrich Gehling, general manager Business Aviation, RUAG Aviation.

Gehling continued “Reliable cabin completion programs offer multiple benefits: in addition to being more affordable than purchasing a new VIP jet, converting an existing airliner provides owners with the comforts of a large cabin combined with the flexibility to tailor the interior of their aircraft to their individual tastes. This is in keeping with our one-stop-shop philosophy. The next projects have already been lined up, and we are looking forward to any new challenges that the future might bring.”
