VIP aircraft completion specialist Aeria Luxury Interiors, a division of Singapore’s ST Aerospace (Stand G01), announced at the Singapore Airshow 2018 its selection to provide the interior for a Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) 737-700 for an undisclosed customer. This is the third BBJ completion contract the company has won since its founding in 2014.

The Aeria-designed interior, to be done in a light color palette, features a VIP stateroom complemented by an en-suite lavatory with shower, an office/meeting room, staff seating, and separate passenger and crew galleys. Luxury touches include generous use of gold plating, wood, fine fabrics and ornate detailing. The BBJ is slated to arrive at the company’s U.S. completion facility in San Antonio, Texas in Q1.

“Aeria has established a successful track record in VIP completions over the years, given our attention to details and dedication to quality, and we will continue to build on it to become a leading service provider in this market,” said Ron Soret, Aeria’s vice president and general manager of completions.

Aeria, which expanded its facilities last year to incorporate a new cabinet and upholstery shop and a building for its design, sales and marketing teams, also performs completions on Airbus Corporate Jets.
