Austrian aerospace systems provider FACC was selected to supply portions of the Bombardier Challenger 3500 cabin. Bombardier unveiled the third generation of its venerable Challenger 300/350 family in September with a new name that brings it in line with the Global nomenclature and incorporates several high-end interior features such as Bombardier’s Nuage seats and a voice-controlled cabin-management system.

Continuing a long-standing relationship with Bombardier, FACC will produce and certify components for the cabin sidewalls, headliners, bulkheads, and passenger service units for the Challenger 3500. The supplied components will include interior linings, the wardrobe, galley, various cabinets, tables, baggage compartments, partitions, cabling, and lavatory components.

Noting that the project is focused on sustainability, FACC said each cabin will be custom-made with components that are painted, veneered, or covered with leather upon request. The components will be delivered fully assembled to Bombardier in Montreal. FACC said it has invested in its manufacturing facility and refined its processes and materials to enable more sustainable interiors.

"The redesigned cabin components combine high-quality, sustainable materials and state-of-the-art technologies with the highest standards in terms of aesthetics, comfort, and functionality," said FACC CEO Robert Machtlinger.
