At ABACE 2019 ( April 16-18), Ameco and Lufthansa Technik present a jointly developed narrow-body aircraft cabin for the first time. ‘Nature's Touch' is based on an Airbus ACJ320 Business Jet as cabin concept, but the design anticipates the adaption to a Boeing 737 BBJ configuration as well. The VIP cabin is one of the first concrete and publicly visible results of the cooperation in business aircraft services for Chinese clients, which both companies signed at ABACE 2018.
The new business jet cabin layout combines the cultures of East and West, exploring the harmonious beauty in the symbiosis of nature, technology and human demands offering a brand new business jet travelling experience for customers.
Mr. Jan Grube, Head of Asia Sales at Lufthansa Technik, said: “With this new concept we want to showcase our joint vision for the next generation of cabin technology. Here, Chinese design and German technology play hand in hand. Lufthansa Technik's many years of experience in perfect craftsmanship and engineering know-how and Ameco's deep insights into the Chinese culture and customer wishes form a symbiosis that can fulfil every wish – expressed or unspoken – for Chinese customers.”
The unique new VIP cabin features a live-cooking aircraft galley, a guest area, a lounge, a dining/meeting area, a cinema, and a master bedroom. Taking full consideration of both customer needs and space efficiency, a convertible sofa, a coffee table in the multi-functional lounge, and a bar with transformable dividers are there to ensure a flexible usage. The dining/meeting area offers several modes such as business, entertainment, and leisure.
