For the last year, Cabin Management Solutions (CMS) has been extremely busy.

Duncan Aviation has completed a refurbishment of a Dassault Falcon 900EX, preserving its original red-toned veneer while adding contemporary design elements. The project included both interior upgrades and a new custom paint scheme.
“This project stands out because it didn’t follow the typical route of replacing the original woodwork,” said lead designer Jilli Sitkiewicz. “Instead, we found a way to elevate and modernize around it. From the quilted seating to the 3D carpet and the stylish exterior, every element was curated to complement the aircraft’s existing features.”
The interior features quilted seat inserts, a geometric-patterned carpet, and soft goods chosen to complement the classic veneer. Two-piece passenger service panels were installed to enhance functionality and visual appeal. Inspired by the owner’s luxury car, the aircraft’s paint scheme features dual-tone grays with a metallic blue accent.
Avionics enhancements included the installation of Cabin Management Solutions’ Empire CMS system and Gogo’s Plane Simple Ku-band connectivity.
“Partnering with Duncan Aviation on this Falcon 900EX upgrade is an exciting milestone,” said Cabin Management Solutions president Troy Michaels. “This aircraft holds special significance for us…bringing it up-to-date with our high-end Empire system elevates the in-flight experience to match the most [advanced] home theater setups.”
