JetMS, a resident company at London Biggin Hill Airport, is taking on the interior refurbishment of the first two of four A380 aircraft for Global Airlines, Britain’s new transatlantic carrier. The project will see JetMS lead the refurbishment programme for Global Airlines as it gears up towards its first commercial operations in 2025.
JetMS, together with partner Factory Design, will progress a wide-ranging refurbishment, including the retrim of approximately 1,000 aircraft seats. The refurbished seats will then be taken to the aircraft’s home location – away from London Biggin Hill Airport – and installed, with JetMS also introducing enhancements across many other areas in all the cabins.
“This significant contract highlights our capability for delivering large-scale aircraft interior retrofit and refurbishment projects from our base at London Biggin Hill Airport,” said Roger Patron, head of business development at JetMS. “With over 30 years of experience, our team has successfully completed several high-profile projects, including significant work on the UK head-of-state aircraft. Our latest contract with Global Airlines is another exciting addition to our portfolio.”
Robert Walters, commercial director at London Biggin Hill Airport, said: “We are proud to support JetMS as it takes on this major project. Its success with the Global Airlines contract is a testament to the team’s expertise and strengthens London Biggin Hill Airport’s position as one of the leading airports for MRO services in Europe.”
Adam White, director of Factory Design, said: “Our partnership with JetMS will combine innovative design with expert craftsmanship to bring Global Airlines’ vision to life, recapturing the romance and excitement of air travel to provide its passengers with a unique experience.”
