Global Airlines has chosen aircraft interior and exterior refurbishment company JETMS Completions to work on its A380 onboard hard product.
The airline says work is planned to start in January 2024 for its first aircraft. Gegams Hanamirjans, CEO of JETMS Holdings said: “The opportunity to grow with Global, and to work on bringing more A380s back into the sky was a project everyone in the company wanted to get involved in.
“It’s also testament to the amazing progress we have made as a company this year, and follows hot on the heels of moving to our new state of the art facility at Biggin Hill airport along with other investments in new equipment.
Now our priority is to get everything in place across the supply chain so we can start progressing at pace early next year on the refurbishment of the first aircraft.
“With our recent acquisition of Waypoint Aerotec, JETMS Completions now possess UK CAA Part 21J Approval. This certification is a valuable add-on to its existing design and production capabilities and qualifies the company to provide innovative design solutions.”
An elevated product
JETMS will refurbish the interiors of Global’s first A380 to the highest standard and further along the line, the carrier’s aircraft interiors will be completely overhauled. Global Airlines plans to provide an elevated product across First, Business and Economy cabins, with Factorydesign creating new concepts for both the version one and version two aircraft in the Global fleet.
The carrier’s CEO and Founder James Asquith said: “We have deliberately cast the net wide when looking for partners. JETMS Completions are known throughout the private aviation world for the amazing work they do on a range of aircraft. And after speaking with Gegams and his team, it was clear that JETMS believed they could introduce standards and finishes from private into commercial aviation.
“I have no doubt at all that the combination of JETMS working with Factorydesign will bring to life our own onboard product on all of our A380s, and I’m looking forward to sharing images and videos of the transformation with passengers to demonstrate the progress we are making as we build towards bringing our first aircraft into service.
“The next few weeks promise to be really exciting for Global. We have a number of partnerships ready to announce that will demonstrate the enormous progress we’ve made and I am looking forward to our first repositioning flight happening before the end of the year.”
