Basel / Switzerland, September 09, 2014 – Jet Aviation Basel is pleased to announce that the Airbus
ACJ319 managed by Austrian operator MJET and displayed by Airbus at JetExpo 2014 showcased the
custom VIP interior created by the Jet Aviation Design Studio and completed at Jet Aviation Basel.
The cabin interior of the Airbus ACJ319 VIP aircraft on display at JetExpo in Moscow last week was designed by
the Jet Aviation Design Studio, outfitted at the Jet Aviation Basel Completions Center and redelivered by the
company in December 2012. Intended for both private and commercial operation, the ACJ319 was built to
accommodate up to 23 passengers and six crew. The business jet, which is operated under MJet’s Austrian
AOC, is certified for 19 passengers on charter flights.
Featuring a private bedroom and en-suite bathroom with shower, a guest lavatory, crew, staff, lounge and
dining areas in addition to spacious double “wet” and “dry” galley areas, the interior is beautifully fit and
finished with exquisite veneer and hardwoods accentuated by top-quality upholstery and leathers. The design
features an elegant combination of high-gloss American black cherry and Santos Rosewood veneers with fine
stitch detailing on leather seats and upholstered divans. The bathroom is tailored for VVIP use, including real
glass mirror and an over-mounted basin of moulded corian, adding one of many contemporary elements within
the aircraft.
“As an integral part of the Completions Center, the Design Studio at Jet Aviation Basel regularly collaborates
with the engineering, production and purchasing teams and has a deep understanding of the technical aspects
of VIP cabin interior design, including constraints, limitations and opportunities,” says Elisabeth Harvey,
manager of the Jet Aviation Basel Design Studio. “We are dedicated to creating inspirational designs for
unique, bespoke interiors that are technically feasible, ergonomically sound and aesthetically pleasing to the
exact specifications of our discerning clients.”
“Having completed more than 200 aircraft since opening the Completions Center in 1977, customers
appreciate our full scope of in-house capabilities and uncompromising standards,” says Neil Boyle, vice
president and general manager of the Jet Aviation Basel Completions Center. “The Airbus ACJ319 interior
displayed at JetExpo showcases our ability to combine innovative design, state-of-the-art technology and
uncompromising luxury.”
