Lufthansa Technik’s new ‘very important person’ cabin design displayed for first time
Edited by Travel Weekly


Lufthansa Technik has presented a brand new VIP cabin concept for the Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) 777-9 at the European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE).

The new design makes full use of the space available on the BBJ aircraft, prioritising versatility and a multi-functional approach to cabin design.

The back of the cabin has been designed to carry delegations in style and comfort to cater to the needs of business and official trips that may require premium meeting or dining facilities.

A special light and window shade concept has been also implemented throughout the cabin, giving passengers the feeling of being in their personal living room rather than on a plane at 30,000 feet, particularly important for an ultra-long range aircraft.

The VVIP section at the front presents a unique private bedroom that is expandable and highly functional, a spacious office and reception area divides the private section from the remaining areas of the aircraft. The cabin also boasts a large majlis, with a design that seamlessly flows throughout the entire cabin.

The detailed design will be revealed later this year and is the first of its kind to be developed using native aircraft data as provided by Boeing.

“We are thrilled to unveil first insights into this new VIP cabin design for the BBJ 777-9,” sales director VIP & special mission aircraft services, Lufthansa Technik, Jan Grube, said.

“Our team’s mission was to create a cabin that is both functional and beautiful, while also meeting the unique needs of our VIP clients in the Middle East. We are confident that this cabin design will set a new standard for VIP aviation, and we look forward to bringing it to market.”
