Aircraft completion specialist VIP Completions has delivered a fully refurbished Gulfstream G550 featuring custom interior and exterior modifications completed in just eight weeks. The accelerated project marked the first collaboration between the U.S. aircraft completions shop and Ukrainian architecture firm Yodezeen.

The refurbishment was done for a first-time aircraft owner whose acquisition was facilitated by VIP Completions sister company SmartJets. The project covered interior design modifications across multiple cabin zones, including a forward cabin configured with four club seats and two forward-facing positions, a mid-cabin conference area accommodating four passengers, and an aft cabin featuring dual two-seat divans. Custom design elements featured dynamic fiber optic accent lighting integrated into the headliner to create starlight patterns, carbon fiber accents throughout the cabin, and aft bulkhead paneling constructed from eucalyptus wood.
