JCB Aero has won a contract to manufacture first-class cabin monuments for a global aviation firm. These monuments feature curtains from a luxury brand, serving as cabin dividers. Each kit, tailored for a B747 aircraft, comprises 13 monuments. Ten kits are scheduled for delivery in 2024, with an additional 15 kits slated for 2025 and 2026. Further contracts are on the horizon, contingent on performance.
Dassault contract
In other news, Dassault has enlisted JCB Aero to supply monuments for its F2000 Ocean Survey special-mission aircraft. Each kit, consisting of 10 monuments for the Falcon 2000 cabin and its associated linings, is designated for one F2000 special-mission aircraft. Three kit sets are to be delivered in 2024, followed by four more in 2025 and 2026. An option for five extra kits is under consideration. Similarly, JCB Aero is providing monuments and composite parts for F8X and F10X special-mission aircraft.
Expanded partnerships
A French industrial organisation has entrusted JCB Aero with key projects for Embraer platforms. One involves producing business-class monuments for installation on ERJ190 aircraft for a national airline. Five kits are to be delivered by August 2024, with a total of 20 kits planned for 2024.
Additionally, JCB Aero has secured contracts to produce kit fairings for Bombardier Global 7000 aircraft, accommodating Leonardo Protection systems. The fairing production will accommodate Leonardo Protection systems on the Global 7000s; each kit comprises four new fairings. JCB anticipates delivering seven kits in 2024 and a further seven kits in 2025.
Furthermore, JCB Aero has been tasked with the removal, refurbishment and reinstallation of cabin interiors for A330 aircraft for a major airline operator.
Composite panel contract
A French electronics manufacturer has chosen JCB Aero to produce composite panels for hardware protection systems. These panels, designed as a spherical structure with foldable leaves, present a unique challenge with a 6m diameter. JCB Aero will establish a dedicated production area within its hangar to meet the demands of this project. Initial production involves three kits this year, with an option for three more in 2025.
B747 business-class monuments
JCB Aero has been awarded new contracts from an aviation organisation for business-class monuments on B747 aircraft. A total of 80 monuments are planned for delivery between 2024 and 2027.
