The new German subsidiary of Austrian business jet interiors specialist F-List has completed its first major refurbishment project, involving a Challenger 850 for Maltese air charter company AIR-X.

In F-List Germany’s first large-scale refurbishment in Berlin, new upholstery, linings and carpets were installed and all wooden surfaces reworked on the jet during a maintenance check conducted by Lufthansa Bombardier Aviation Services.

The project was the first major refurbishment conducted by the F-List Germany, which was formed following the acquisition of OHS Aviation Services by F-List in April this year. 

The refurbishment for the Challenger 850 jet with the registration 9H – BOO was undertaken in co-operation with F/List’s major strategic partner Lufthansa Bombardier Aviation Services in Berlin Schönefeld. 

In the course of the refurbishment all seats were reupholstered with elegant cream-colored leather, to match the chic new fabric of the divan. 

New linings on ceilings as well as on lower and upper sidewalls and new PSU panels added to the clean and elegant overall look. A newly installed grape-coloured carpet covering the entire cabin floor offers a sophisticated contrast with the otherwise light, cream refurbished cabin. 

The elegant matte oak surfaces of the galley, sideledges, bulkhead and partition were reworked to give the interior a completely new and sophisticated touch. 

All the interior work was performed over a time of approximately six weeks at F/List Germany’s EASA Part 145 approved upholstery and joinery facilities in Schönefeld, while Lufthansa Bombardier conducted mandatory fuselage and engine checks.

AIR-X’s CCO Bernhard Wallner said: “Thanks to the F/List team for their great work. The result is amazing. Our customers love the new interior.”

F/List Germany’s Austrian parent F/List said it expects this success to be the first in a line of many more projects to be completed in cooperation with Lufthansa Bombardier Aviation Services and other MROs worldwide.
