Florida-based VIP Completions Takes on Biggest Project

Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based VIP Completions is taking on what it said is its biggest project yet: a comprehensive interior and exterior refurbishment of a Boeing 767 bizliner. Delivery of the refurbished aircraft is scheduled before year-end.

The cabin has been divided into six spaces, the cornerstone of which is the main lounge. It is equipped with an 80-inch video monitor, a DJ station with an “audiophile-caliber” sound system, and a full dining table. Other spaces include a master bedroom with a queen-size bed and en suite bathroom and two lounge areas that can be converted to bedrooms.

With seating for 33 passengers, the cabin sleeps 16. Two galleys, a conference room with seating for eight, and four lavatories—two of which include showers—round out the new cabin. A custom cabin management system controls high-speed internet, high-definition audio, and LED lighting.

The aircraft’s exterior features a paint scheme of black, white, and pearl colors accented by a carbon fiber effect on the cowlings.

“While we have successfully completed VIP widebody projects in the past—including multiple BBJs, 757s, and others—this project is the biggest in our company’s history,” said VIP Completions president Ben Shirazi. “Beyond its size and the potential that offers, the 767 stands out from other VIP widebody platforms because of its range, altitude, and speed capabilities.”
