Completions specialist Associated Air Center (AAC) redelivered the industry’s first head-of-state-configured Boeing 787-8 to an undisclosed customer. (In 1989, AAC completed the first head-of-state-configured 757-200 for the same customer.) AAC’s in-house team designed the interior. Its 2,404 sq ft of cabin space can accommodate 82 passengers in three cabin zones, while the fourth, presidential, zone comprises an office, bedroom and lavatory suite. At the delivery ceremony, AAC president James Colleary called the project “new territory for VIP completions for composite, widebody aircraft,” noting the Scottsdale, Ariz. company “overcame significant new engineering challenges during this project.”
