Comlux is pleased to announce that Comlux Completion, its Completion and Service Center based in Indianapolis IN, accomplished their 11^th VIP interior outfitting on a BBJ aircraft for a private customer based in the Far East.

The luxurious cabin features at the front a spacious executive compartment, with four sets of Club-4. Instead of the traditional Hi/Lo tables, there are large pull out tables with easily attachable extensions newly designed and installed specifically for this aircraft. In the center section, a private dining/conference room features a massive table surrounded by six executive style seats. The overhead area portrays a grand ceiling dome with a handmade mother of pearl pattern. Decorated with a similar ceiling dome, the master suite at the rear includes a tranquil master bedroom and a spa-like private master lavatory. The entire aircraft has an infusion of an Asian inspired atmosphere. There is a cohesive blend of contrasting color palettes achieved by the use of supple white leather, rich warm mahogany veneer, plush taupe carpet, textured fabrics and gold accents throughout- inspiring luxury and relaxation.

“We are very proud to have successfully delivered another beautiful nose-to-tail bespoke VIP completion,”stated Arnaud Martin, COO of Comlux. “We have been “engineering luxury” on VIP interiors since 2008, always keeping our customers wishes at heart and the technical performance in mind. The interior of the BBJ was engineered to magnify weight performance at a total weight of only 14400 lbs.We are fully prepared and up to speed for the arrival of the first ever BBJ Max 8 completion and our first ACJ320 Neo later this year.” Martin stated.

Comlux is pleased to announce that Comlux Completion, its completion and service center in Indianapolis and approved by Airbus, Boeing and Bombardier, has successfully performed its first Digital Maintenance inspection on the BBJ of Hyundai Motor Company.

The Digital Maintenance process allows that all task cards and part tracking efforts are performed electronically using wireless tablets and bar code scanners, instead of using paper task cards and boards. Documentation can now be directly entered into the system via hand-held devices rather than at an off-aircraft computer workstation thus allowing technicians to stay on task at the aircraft. The Supervisors can assign tasks electronically and have a real-time live view of work progression. On the Project Management side, the Purchase Orders for parts and services can also be viewed real time against the specific maintenance tasks that required them for instantaneous reporting. This enhances the client experience during the event, as real time digital reporting enables seamless oversight throughout the maintenance event.

Mr Choi, General Manager Flight Team Hyundai Motor company said “Our BBJ was originally completed at Comlux Completion and since then, Comlux has provided Hyundai Motor Company with a very efficient and reliable maintenance support. Digital maintenance is a great tool which further improves their capabilities and allow my own team to track real time the work which has been performed on our aircraft”

Scott Meyer, CEO of Comlux Completion says: “We have launched the Comlux 3.0 innovation and technology program during the last quarter 2017 and I am proud that our teams have already performed their first Digital Maintenance work package for the BBJ of Hyundai Motor Company, who is a recurring customer of Comlux since 2012”. He added “Digital Maintenance is not only paperless, but a fully integrated work order management tool. It increases reliability, eliminates potential human errors and decrease redundancies. All Departments can follow instantly and seamlessly the progress of the documentation, thus bringing greater efficiency and resulting in an improved data package for our customer, not possible using traditional paper methods.”
