CABIN COMFORT

Business jets which are the preserve of the wealthy have always been known for their upscale and luxurious interiors. Business jet OEMs all are hard at work to ensure their aircraft cabins offer an unmatched experience and this is aided by their new generation of aircraft, which offer unprecedented levels of cabin space. However, several bespoke design agencies are now offering aircraft cabins that are dramatically more opulent than ever before with a greater focus on sustainability. According to an aviation industry expert, there is a growing trend towards developing high-end business and private jet cabins due to the emergence of new aircraft which feature large cabins, windows and cabin advanced pressurisation systems." In addition to modern aircraft cabins, new improvements are being offered in cabin interiors as well as cost savings in their maintenance and repair, along with greater use of sustainable materials.

A New Direction

One of these is the JPA Design Agency which is a global multidisciplinary design studio founded in 1983 by James Park and earlier this January unveiled its 'Afterglow' private aircraft cabin concept, which takes opulence to new levels but with a strong focus on sustainability. “JPA see a future that is much more akin to that of the commercial aviation spheres. Where planned scheduling of retrofit interiors plays a pivotal role in extending the aircraft lifecycle. Re-use rather than replace,” the company said while announcing Afterglow. The global fleet of private jets has doubled in the past two decades, resulting in many aircraft still in service with outdated interiors. In its quest to reimagine the cabin lifecycle, JPA is exploring what a modern travel experience onboard a private jet could comprise. The design agency said the shift from traditional practices into a more engaging human-centric design was a key consideration when designing the ‘Afterglow’ cabin.
