The ExecuJet Aviation Group opened its new aircraft interiors showroom on December 11, at its headquarters in Zurich Airport, Switzerland. The spacious and dedicated showroom is conveniently located above the company’s Fixed Based Operation (FBO). Clients are now invited to visit the showroom to specify their aircraft interiors and carefully select all finishes before ExecuJet visually displays the proposed interior on a large plasma screen by using computer aided design software.
First to visit is a new customer from the Middle East who ratified an agreement with ExecuJet at last month’s MEBA air show to design the interior of a newly acquired Bombardier Global Express aircraft.
“This facility is a true A to Z of interiors with 60 of the biggest luxury material houses in Europe and beyond showcasing their materials here. We are thrilled at the great support they have each given us, providing us with a terrific sample range of products all under one roof,” said ExecuJet Head of Completions Management Pascal Jallier. Participating brands include Aeristo, Scott Group, Kalogridis, Edelman Leather, Townsend Leather, Maison Lipari, A.I.P and Techno Coatings). Silk has also been sourced from Jim Thompson of Asia, among others.
On show is a large range of wood veneers, a wide selection of leather qualities such as calf, lamb and buffalo as well as countless fabrics including silk, cotton and velour. The showroom boasts an extensive selection of plating in various shades of gold and platinum and all grades of carpet including hand tufted cashmere, silk and some 500 samples of colored wool balls. The showroom also features an extensive range of accessories including cashmere blankets, towels and china ware that are all part of the VIP amenities packages.
“We have invested in this facility for our clients to give them a one stop shop when planning their aircraft interiors. Everything can be planned on site from wood for the tables and sideboards to the color and feel of luxury inflight blankets,” commented Gerrit Basson, Managing Director ExecuJet Aviation Group.
“Previously our representatives have been travelling to clients all over the world carrying large cases of samples, but this showroom offers a far wider variety enabling the interiors to be planned on site in comfort using our computers and state of the art design software. Zurich’s location in the heart of Europe makes this facility very accessible and we foresee that OEMs and completion centers will choose to visit us too.”
