A carefully planned cabin interior lighting is an important factor to enhance passengers' well-being on board, which is why General Atomics AeroTec Systems (GAAS) is offering Jetlite's innovative and social jet lag-reducing cabin lighting. This collaboration further strengthens the portfolio of GAAS' one-stop-shop in Oberpfaffenhofen near Munich, Germany.

Jetlite has developed a revolutionary lighting technology that reduces social jet lag; the disruption of the body's natural circadian rhythm, the so-called inner clock, by extremely early or late flights that extend into the actual sleeping time. At the touch of a button, the crew or the passenger can adjust the lighting in the cabin to align with the individual inner clock and personal needs. This ensures that the passenger arrives at the destination feeling refreshed and less jet lagged.

Unlike traditional cabin lighting such as mood lighting, the lighting technology is scientifically proven and based on research studies in the fields of human centric lighting and chronobiology.

“Our cabin lighting technology is tailored to your individual inner clock, your personal needs and your cabin interior. We develop a unique lighting concept based on your specific needs, which we test, evaluate and photometrically measure on board of the business jet. This is how we ensure that you receive a perfectly matching cabin lighting,” says Jetlite co-founder and managing director Dr Achim Leder.

GAAS has recognised the immense potential of this modern cabin lighting technology to complement its comprehensive business jet service portfolio. The company offers extensive upgrades for navigation and safety systems, entertainment systems and cabin interiors with seats, carpets and woodwork. It is a reliable partner for MRO of business jets and operates a VIP paint shop. In order to offer the customer the greatest possible service with minimum downtime, GAAS combines all these services in a modern one-stop-shop.

"At General Atomics AeroTec Systems, innovation is the core of our business. This is why we believe the Jetlite technology adds significant benefit to the passenger experience in any business jet," says head of sales Christian Karl.
