Restful idea boosts Jet-Link's 7X business
Switzerland's Jet-Link AG reports increased client interest in its Falcon 7X - thanks to a modification that gives an extra divan for sleep or rest.

Switzerland's Jet-Link AG reports increased client interest in its Falcon 7X - thanks to a modification that gives an extra divan for sleep or rest.

Roland Kalmus, director ground operation and sales, says: "The Falcon 7X, with its BMW-designed interior, was very popular anyway but the aircraft was delivered from Dassault with one single seat and one divan in the rear compartment. The feedback from our clients was that this was not totally convenient for them, especially on long haul flights when rest was the priority.

"We therefore decided to modify the single seat to a second divan. The 7X now has two divans in the rear compartment giving a total of six beds for sleeping and 12 passenger seats compared to the previous five beds and 11 passengers. It is just more restful and the upgrade has increased client satisfaction even more than we expected."

Kalmus adds: "We took the opportunity to refurbish the rear cabin and the new configuration has certainly generated additional interest in the marketplace."
