Aerospace Technologies Group (ATG) launched AerLuxe, a new family of window shades developed for VIP aircraft and first-class suites on airliners, this week at AIX 2025. Designed for multi-window applications, the AerLuxe system replaces individual window shades with a unified panel that offers both light-filtering and opaque modes.
The system allows users to transition between settings with a single control, concealing multiple windows behind a continuous fabric panel designed to integrate with surrounding cabin interiors. Internally, AerLuxe incorporates ATG’s NextGen electronic control platform, which supports quiet operation and automated performance features.
Electronic controls offer IoT connectivity for integration with aircraft cabin and maintenance systems. This enables performance monitoring, remote diagnostics, and software updates without the need to remove the unit from the aircraft. The system’s sensor-less control and self-learning algorithms are designed to extend product life and minimize noise during operation.
An optional feature, ShadePT, provides preventive maintenance functionality by reshaping the fabric panel to its original form, which can be activated manually by cabin crew without generating a maintenance request.
AerLuxe builds on ATG’s existing Modular Series and will replace the company’s MS2 and MS3 models. Future variants are planned for use across a broader range of commercial aircraft configured for premium cabins.

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.
