Mecaer Aviation Group (MAG) has validated its luxury interior for the Bell 429 with Russian authorities (IAC-AR). MAG developed and branded the MAGnificent for the Bell 429 under an EASA STC in 2015 and then applied for Russian validation. The MAGnificent provides multiple options and configurations for VIP passengers, who can choose from four-, five- or six-seat layouts, with options for up to two center consoles, MAG’s proprietary I-Feel (In-Flight Entertainment Enhanced Lounge) and passenger controlled electro-chromic windows.
The interior includes two of MAG’s proprietary technologies. The “SILENS” noise-canceling system reduces the cabin noise to a level that allows passengers to conduct normal conversation without headsets. MAG’s I-FEEL technology provides passengers with moving jet maps and audio/video entertainment, along with internal Wi-Fi interface to personal smart devices.
“The STC validation in Russia is a significant milestone for MAG,” said Armando Sassoli, co-general manager of Mecaer Aviation Group. “It was critical we receive this validation, as we have many clients in line for our interior in Russia.”
