Lufthansa Technik (LHT) has completed the VIP cabin outfitting of an Airbus ACJ319neo for a private customer. The aircraft received its bespoke interior during a recent layover at Lufthansa Technik’s Hamburg base. The cabin showcases a modern, luxurious design tailored to the customer’s specific preferences and travel lifestyle.
This project also marks a first for Lufthansa Technik. The aircraft is the company’s inaugural VIP completion to feature the state-of-the-art Gogo Galileo LEO (low-earth-orbit) satellite connectivity system. This innovation brings a new standard of inflight connectivity to private aviation.
“This fascinating aircraft is a further example of Lufthansa Technik strengthening its role as a technology leader for VIP and Special Aircraft completions,” said Michael von Puttkamer, Vice President Special Aircraft Services at Lufthansa Technik. “With its customised outfitting, ensuring premier levels of comfortable private travel, the aircraft meets and exceeds the highest expectations. To enhance the passenger experience even further, Lufthansa Technik in cooperation with Airbus and Gogo has introduced a new standard in terms of onboard entertainment and connectivity.”
The Gogo Galileo terminal offers passengers seamless high-speed broadband access. Travellers can hold high-quality video conferences, stream content, or transfer data in real time — anywhere on Earth. The system’s performance is made possible by the Eutelsat OneWeb satellite network. Unlike traditional geostationary systems orbiting 42,000 kilometres above the planet, the OneWeb constellation operates at just 965 kilometres, reducing latency and improving stability.
The electronically steered antenna ensures a strong and consistent signal, supported by a dense network of satellites in low-Earth orbit. As a result, passengers experience smooth connectivity throughout their journey, whether for work or relaxation.
