Greenpoint Technologies, a Zodiac Aerospace company, is exhibiting from booth #I051 at the European Business Convention and Exhibition (EBACE), 24-26 May, and will be showcasing the world's first full V-VIP 787-8 Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) interior completion on static display.

This aircraft is the first V-VIP BBJ 787-8 to be displayed on static, and will be viewed by a select, discrete audience. The remarkable completion is the product of Greenpoint's collaboration with Boeing, the aircraft manufacturer, Pierrejean Design Studios, the interior designer and Kestrel Aviation Management as the completion management company. The entire team is devoted to the quality and success of this historical completion.

Greenpoint chairman and Zodiac Aerospace VIP and business aircraft interiors division CEO Jon Buccola reflects, “The 787 delivery is a momentous, historical achievement for Greenpoint. I am proud of our team and leadership that dedicated endless hours to this program. It's only the tip of the iceberg for our 787 future.”

Boeing Business Jets president David Longridge states, “Greenpoint Technologies is one of the original BBJ completion centers and they set a precedent with their V-VIP BBJ 787 completion. The company's technical expertise, innovative solutions and long-standing relationship with The Boeing Company is the foundation for success. It is a beautiful airplane both inside and out, and we know the client will love it.”

Greenpoint's executive vice president Bret Neely affirms, “There are many reasons to be proud about this significant V-VIP 787 completion. To start, the team's dedication and talent to engineer and master the 787 completion process and its advanced technology. We learned a great deal from our first 787 which is already flowing to our second 787."
