Gregory Polek has spent his entire career in aviation journalism with AIN, starting as a proofreader and assistant to then-managing editor Mary Mahoney in 1995 after serving an internship with&nbsp;New Jersey Monthly&nbsp;magazine and completing his B.A. degree in English/Writing at New Jersey’s William Paterson College. By 1997 Polek accepted a position as an associate editor, covering the regional airline beat for&nbsp;Aviation International News&nbsp;in place of retiring industry veteran Don Anderson. The assignment took Polek across North America and Europe to profile regional airlines varying in size and mission from the likes of floatplane operators Kenmore Air and Chalk’s Ocean Airways to regional jet operators such as SkyWest and American Eagle. Today, in his dual role as Air Transport Editor and International Airshow Editor, Polek writes, edits, and manages AIN’s commercial aviation content while overseeing each of the company’s daily international air show publications in Paris, Farnborough, Singapore, and Dubai. Most recently Polek has assumed oversight of daily coverage of the Helicopter Association International’s annual Heli-Expo convention.

Boeing Business Jets has chosen a partnership between Aloft AeroArchitects and Greenpoint Technologies as the exclusive completions provider for the newly announced BBJ Select cabin interiors.
Unveiled Monday at the Las Vegas Convention Center, BBJ Select introduces what Boeing Business Jets calls a new standard of interior completions for the BBJ 737-7. The offering gives customers the ability to simplify and expedite the design and installation of their cabin interiors while still providing flexibility and customization. The catalog of options includes 144 possible interior layouts with various materials available in three color palettes. The six-zone cabin allows for a variety of interchangeable spaces including a private office, family room, passenger seating, and a VIP master suite.
“Boeing Business Jets is offering customers a new, streamlined approach to designing a unique, comfortable, and functional interior for our BBJ 737-7 jet,” said Boeing Business Jets president Joe Benson. “For customers who may not have the time or desire to create a fully bespoke interior, BBJ Select offers pre-designed options to outfit their cabins, which allows us to offer the jet at a very attractive, fixed price.”
Under their partnership deal, Greenpoint will deliver cabin kits developed by its Interior Design Center to Aloft, which will install, certify, and deliver the completed interiors. The companies will share responsibility for client acceptance and post-delivery care.
“Collaboration is in our DNA at Aloft,” said company vice president of sales and service Matt Hill. “We’ve been a proud partner to Boeing on the auxiliary fuel system since inception of the program as well as being one of the top providers of VIP interior completions on BBJ 737 aircraft.”

News and developments about everything that goes into the cabin of an aircraft, from floor coverings to headliners, with a special emphasis on in-flight entertainment, communications and other electronics for passengers. If it is in the cabin of an aircraft, it’s covered here.
