Aloft AeroArchitects has been awarded the contract to perform a VVIP interior completion on a Boeing BBJ Max 8. The project will be carried out at the company’s hangar facility in Georgetown, Delaware.
Under the agreement, Aloft will oversee every aspect of the customized interior, integrating advanced systems for passenger comfort and connectivity. The project will be certified under Aloft’s in-house Organization Designation Authorization, enabling FAA approval directly through the company.&nbsp;
“We’re truly honored to be selected as the completion partner by a savvy aircraft owner who has outfitted and operated several VVIP narrow- and widebody aircraft over the years,” said Matt Hill, Aloft’s v-p of sales and marketing. “He values the experience, capabilities, quality, and dedicated project focus he will receive at Aloft…Once delivered, the aircraft will be amongst the most elegant and well-equipped in operation.”
As with all Boeing Business Jet Maxs, the aircraft will include Aloft’s auxiliary fuel system (AFS), installed in the forward and aft cargo compartments. The modular AFS increases the BBJ Max 8’s range by up to 50%—to nearly 6,700 nm.
In other company news, Aloft will host the 2026 RedCabin Business Jet and VIP Interior Innovation Summit from Sept. 22 to 24, 2026, in Dewey Beach, Delaware. The event will highlight advancements in cabin design, sustainability, and technology through workshops, panels, and demonstrations.
“We’re thrilled to welcome the RedCabin community to our home in Delaware,” said Colby Hall, Aloft’s managing director of emerging technologies and innovation.
