Citadel Completions has redelivered a refurbished VIP Boeing 757 to NBA team Dallas Mavericks following a four-month project at its Lake Charles, Louisiana facility. The work included a complete interior redesign, along with a heavy maintenance check.
The aircraft’s new configuration is tailored to accommodate basketball players, coaches, and staff. Citadel installed a bespoke in-flight entertainment and cabin management system with touchscreens at each player’s seat, mood lighting controls, and multiple 4K monitors. Team-specific graphics and themes are also integrated into the system.
Connectivity and comfort upgrades were part of the package. The aircraft now offers updated Wi-Fi, passenger power stations, expanded overhead bins, and antimicrobial lavatory coatings. Citadel noted that combining cabin reconfiguration with heavy maintenance minimized downtime.
In the cockpit, panels and seating were upgraded. Full-grain, team-branded leather seating, new carpets, and tailored panels are featured in the coaches’ cabin. The players’ cabin incorporates custom club seating designed with frames created by PAC Seating Systems, along with additional ceiling-height storage closets. Outfitted with business-class seating, the staff cabin now has enhanced galley and lavatory features, as well as new media tables and monitors.
