VIP Completions, a provider of aircraft completions and refurbishment services, has unveiled the interior of a completely refurbished Dassault Falcon 7X. The acquisition of the aircraft was brokered by SmartJets, a turnkey aircraft dealer-broker.
From beginning to end, the process was completed in 16 weeks – approximately eight weeks for acquisition and eight weeks for refurbishment.

This Falcon 7X seats 12 passengers comfortably, boasting personalised décor and latest-generation technologies. It is laid out with three principal cabin areas: a forward main lounge with club seating; mid-cabin conference room/dining room; and aft stateroom/office with divan. There is also a large forward galley; forward crew lavatory; and aft VIP lavatory.

Design highlights include custom-designed seats throughout the cabin upholstered with contrasting premium Garrett leathers and intricate diamond-pattern stitchwork. The stateroom divan is upholstered in premium Garrett leathers with contrasting picture-frame piping.
The full cabin was re-veneered with an open-grain white oak finish in a matte dark chocolate colour. There are new stone countertops; 100%-wool carpeting by Loro Piana throughout the cabin; and the cabin bulkheads and dado panels are covered in light cream Garrett leathers to match the seats.

“We are particularly proud of this project because it shows how quickly and efficiently our companies can work together – in just 16 weeks, we went from a letter of intent to an entirely new bespoke interior,” said Ben Shirazi, president, VIP Completions and president, SmartJets. “First, we guided our client through a detailed acquisition process in order to ensure that they selected the optimal aircraft under optimal conditions – including closing in time to benefit from 2023 bonus depreciation rules.”

“Once acquisition was final, we worked closely with our client to create a customised interior, using the finest designer brands and materials,” said Shirazi. “Combining an aesthetic that reflects individual taste and style with the latest technologies, we delivered a superb and unique inflight experience. Completing a refurb of this scope in just eight weeks is exceptionally fast by industry standards. We are comfortable committing to such short turn-around times, for comparably sized projects, thanks to the rigorous efficiency of our project management and the excellence of our talented team.”
