328 Design GmbH, part of the 328 Group, announced today that it has received EASA STC approval for a Bombardier CRJ-200. In collaboration with RUAG Aircraft Services GmbH, the CRJ has been converted from regional airline configuration to a 10-seat vip layout.

It has been fitted with the latest CMS/IFE technology based on Emteq's eConnect & eQuation Cabin Power ©. This versatile system allows passengers to use their own Personal Devices (PEDs) to connect and control the cabin systems, LED cabin lighting, window shades and entertainment and provides 220VAC for power to recharge and work with Personal Electronic Devices in flight. The video and audio content is streamed via WLAN.

The aircraft was delivered to an undisclosed customer at the end of March 2013.

This work was won in a competitive tender process and work commenced late in July 2012. 328 Design was responsible for all aspects of the certification process and worked with all parties to ensure a timely delivery for the project.

It is the first time that RUAG and 328 Design have teamed up on a conversion project. ”We are really pleased to have supported our neighbours in Oberpfaffenhofen and we are confident that we can continue this relationship on other projects in the future,” said 328 Design coo and head of design Jörg Gorkenant.

“The professionalism and understanding of all aspects of the vip conversion design and certification process was the reason why we selected 328 Design for this work,” commented Ulli Gehling, general manager business aviation of RUAG Aviation Services.

The 328 Group is exhibiting at the Aircraft Interiors Show in Hamburg next week. Stand No 7B7.
