MAC INTERIORS COMPLETE EXCEPTIONAL VIP INTERIOR ON RJ70 FOR PRESTIGIOUS EASTERN EUROPEAN CUSTOMER
MAC Aircraft Interior Specialists, the UK’s leading aircraft interior refurbishment and manufacturing company, have completed a bespoke VIP interior on the BAe146 RJ70 for Inflite Engineering, on behalf of a prestigious Eastern European customer.
The interior consists of luxurious leather divans and individual VIP seats with the divan designed to achieve maximum viewing of the central 42” television. Coving panels replaced overhead bins creating a spacious feeling throughout the aircraft and the original lavatory was extended to include a vanity unit and a large white Corian basin with Villeroy & Boch faucets. The in-flight entertainment system was supplied by Bang & Olufsen and incorporates a surround sound speaker system tested and approved by Tenencia. There are also two bar areas at the front and rear of the cabin with electronically operated doors.
To ensure the cabin maintains a luxurious feel, MAC Interiors worked intensively to reduce the amount of signage throughout the aircraft. This was achieved by colour coordinating the signs so that they are visible yet still meet all the aircraft’s regulations.
MAC used a new innovative dip film process to meet flammability requirements on the veneer in the cabin. They also engineered a goose neck hinge system to the toilet seat, which helped with space constrictions in the lavatory.
Roger Patron, Commercial Director for MAC said: “The aircraft was formerly a 70-seat commercial plane, so needless to say we faced a big challenge converting it to a luxurious VIP space. The end result is a testament to our commitment to meeting the needs of our clients and our attention to detail. It also shows how we are prepared to challenge conventional techniques and innovate, to find exciting new solutions.”
