Freedom and flexibility may be the biggest advantages of private air travel, but for private jet owners, a bespoke cabin is the ultimate personal statement. Aircraft interiors, once drab and uniform, now rival the finest mansions and mega-yachts in style and function
Designers specializing in this growing market are finding new and innovative ways to merge sophistication and comfort with functionality and safety, so that high-fliers can enjoy a beautiful environment 40,000 feet in the air. We’ve scoured the skies to find some inspiring jet interiors to prove that the sky is the limit when it comes to mile-high style.
Oasis – AirJet Designs
The most spectacular private cabins are not just luxe and elegant; they’re also outfitted with a personal touch. This in-the-works project from Toulouse-based VIP studio AirJet Designs cleverly reflects the lifestyle and personality of the Middle-Eastern client. In terms of layout, the aircraft incorporates a Majlis with a dining area for eight, two bedrooms with private bathrooms, a medical room and guest and staff seating – but it’s the exquisite customized details throughout that make the ‘Oasis’ so striking. www.air-jetdesigns.com
