Tech and craftsmanship fuel growth for VIP Completions
A year of growth has seen VIP Completions bolster its sales and marketing team and enhance its maintenance and completions capabilities. It also now has 11 refurbishment projects under its wing.
A year since moving into new premises, VIP Completions has chalked up 11 refurbishment projects.

Florida-based completions and refurbishment services provider VIP Completions has completed its eleventh (refurbishment) completion project since the inauguration of its new facility at Fort Lauderdale International airport one year ago, and the expansion of its sales team over the past twelve months.

The projects covered eight aircraft types, from the Gulfstream G200 through to the Dassault Falcon 900C and Bombardier Global series. Work ranged from a soft goods refresh, ADS-B out V2 compliance, complete interior refurbishment involving re-veneer and new structures, resurfacing, plating and the replacement of cabin management systems.

The team keeps an eye on audio-visual and connectivity technology advances with a view to integrating them into the cabin, things like tablet-controlled cabin management systems using familiar home automation interfaces to give customers complete control of their onboard environment.

“The VIP Completions team has demonstrated that we can handle the most complex projects on a wide range of aircraft platforms,” says president Ben Shirazi. “Our team has developed solutions that bring the latest technology to any vintage of aircraft, and incorporates them into a bespoke cabin design. As part of our growth strategy, we will continue to develop onboard technology and continue to add the resources and capacity required to meet the needs of our discerning business aviation customers.”

VIP Completions has bolstered its sales and marketing team to support its growth, and has also enhanced its maintenance and completions capabilities by bringing on industry expert George Tsopeis.
