Switzerland’s Comlux is here at NBAA 2017 highlighting the forthcoming completion of an executive-configured ACJ320neo—the Swiss company’s first neo interior installation—with the green Airbus scheduled for induction at the Comlux America facility in Indiana in September 2019. Four design firms—Paris-based Alberto Pinto Design, the UK’s Design Q and Winch Design and Unique Aircraft of Germany—have been invited to submit design concepts to the undisclosed Asian customer. Final selection is expected in the third quarter, an accelerated decision date chosen “to optimize the lead-time execution for design, engineering and custom fabrication phases before input, so we can revolutionize the integration and certification phases that occur in the hangar,” said Scott Meyer, CEO of Comlux Completions. The goal is to perform the completion in 10 months. “We are committed to delivering this interior within one of the shortest completion cycles to date,” Meyer said. The company is currently conducting several ACJneo and BBJ Max cabin completion sales campaigns and is “expecting to sign more contracts before the end of the year.”
