SR Technics is revolutionizing existing vip design products on the market through the development of an innovative cabin solution for government and individually- owned narrow-body (ACJ and BBJ) aircraft. Eighteen months of research, combined with the expertise and experience of the company's vip team, sees the introduction of an innovative design package that transforms the way cabins are currently completed and managed.

“The aviation industry has been conservative in the modernization of private aircraft design,” explains Eric Jan, head of vip interior design at SR Technics. “From the organization of space through to the construction of the interior, vip aircraft have traditionally been set up in a standard layout. We believe we have created a layout and concept that enables owners to make 100% use of the usable space, 100% of the time.”

The product, which will be officially launched at EBACE, brings together advanced smart solutions that reconsider traditional layouts to enable optimization and flexibility of space; turning the ordinary into extraordinary. SR Technics' highly competitive pricing and significant reduction in the green completion time, by up to a third compared to the industry norm, the new cabin solution offers value that has not been seen in the industry to date.

“It's time to rethink narrow-body interiors as they are not suited to today's needs. We're therefore rewriting the rules for vip completions,” continues Eric Jan. “We're considering all aspects of daily life, bringing together lifestyle, design and technology to create a modern vip aircraft interior which breaks with traditionalism. Through the use of innovative materials and luxury finishes, we are creating a cozy ambience that enables the traveler to relax and unwind on board, arriving at their destination fully refreshed.

As part of the design concept, the galley and kitchen areas on the aircraft become the heart of onboard life, accessible to crew and passengers. The design of the cabin offers flexibility and a comfortable, relaxed setting. Thus, the forward cabin can be used by the crew to relax, as a quiet area for working or even be converted to an office environment. To meet individual tastes the cabin design is offered in three styles: Classic, Elegant, and Modern.

As demands of the owner change, all interior aspects are freestanding, ensuring that any adaptations can be made at a lower cost, which in turn increases resale value of the aircraft.

“My job is to challenge current design thinking,” says Eric Jan. “In this case I believe our innovation comes from simple solutions, which reflect the high end luxury and finish that is demanded in the vip aircraft market, and tailored to meet each customer's individual needs.”

Creating a dream is a shared passion that involves designers, engineers, craftsmen and project managers at SR Technics. In vip projects, every detail counts: from the development of an individual interior design to high-end engineering elements through to handcrafted exclusive furniture. As a Swiss company, quality and punctuality are second nature to the team. “We are redefining the art of travel,” concludes Eric Jan.
