So your best friend has a nicely appointed Boeing Business Jet. Big deal. Your BBJ is also nicely appointed, and it has room for your new Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4, a million-dollar automobile that comes as close to flying as any road car ever built. Now that’s one-upmanship, and New Zealand-based completion and refurbishment specialist Altitude VIP Interiors (Booth No. 1639) has just the airplane you’re looking for.
Altitude, with facilities in Auckland, is at EBACE promoting its new BBJ-C, based on the BBJ Convertible variant with a large cargo door forward. The idea of a dual-role cabin is not unusual, but Altitude has taken it a step (maybe even several steps) beyond by offering a choice of five palletized modules for the discriminating owner–cargo, economy seating, business class seating, medevac and executive/VIP and any combination of those five. Each module is created as an independent cabin zone and each is rolled into the cabin via the 140-inch by 96.5-inch cargo door.
