Aloft AeroArchitects has been awarded a second contract this year to complete a VVIP interior on a Boeing Business Jet Max 8. The project will be performed at Aloft’s Georgetown, Delaware facility, where the company will integrate and certify all onboard systems through its in-house FAA organization designation authorization (ODA).
The newly awarded aircraft, for an Asia-based customer who has previously owned and operated three BBJs, is scheduled to arrive in mid-2026. Aloft will first install its proprietary auxiliary fuel system in both forward and aft cargo compartments, extending the BBJ Max 8’s range by up to 50%.
“The award of this project…speaks to the value Aloft creates for customers,” said Matt Hill, the company’s v-p of sales. “The VVIP quality expectation is a minimum standard in the narrowbody airliner category, and we deliver at the highest level.”
This announcement comes on the heels of a contract Aloft <a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2025-10-15/aloft-complete-vvip-cabin-bbj-max-8">announced in October</a> for another BBJ Max 8 interior, also performed under the company's ODA. That project features custom connectivity, advanced systems integration, and a design certified directly through the company.
