Airbus Corporate Jets has established “an outfitters advisory board” to work more closely with five OEM-approved completion centers “to ensure total quality” while allowing the selected partners “to sell many fancy things” to their customers. “This is a good area to work in the coming years” especially in relation to the next-generation airplanes with airframes made of composite materials, ACJ president Benoit Defforge told journalists at the Russian Business Aviation Exhibition 2019, which opened on September 11 at Moscow-Vnukovo Airport.
