Cool: Look Inside An Airbus ACJ319neo Private Jet
The customer interior was fully hand-crafted.
While not many of us are wealthy enough to peek inside the interior of a luxurious private jet, Jet Aviation has kindly offered a never-seen-before preview of a custom interior for an Airbus ACJ319neo. Besides illuminating a feeling of affluent comfort, the custom interior is unique for being entirely handcrafted by the company itself.
A peculiar redelivery from Jet Aviation
The preview of the interior comes from a recently delivered ACJ319neo (Airbus Corporate Jet) to an undisclosed customer. The private aircraft arrived at the company’s headquarters in Basel last July and was finally redelivered eight months later, in March.
Senior Director of Jet Aviation Design, Grischa Schmidt, celebrated the redelivery by saying:
“The customer requested a modern take on the art deco period, accented with beautiful detailing throughout the entire cabin. Each piece has been carefully considered to bring its own striking effect as part of one seamless whole. Throughout the entire process, the team has closely collaborated with engineering, production, and installation to ensure that even the most complex elements of the customer’s vision have been brought beautifully to life.”

Nobody does it quite like Jet Aviation
The custom interior was designed, handcrafted, and installed by Jet Aviation in-house. It highlights the contemporary art deco inspiration as per the customer’s request and was created through close collaboration between Jet Aviation Design, the customer, and the client’s interior architect, Colin Radcliffe.
Featuring a monochrome palette executed in dark woods and tiling that contrasted with beige and gold upholstery and finishes, the design is complemented by intricate details like a hand-made ‘sunburst’ marquetry in the bulkhead. The ‘sunburst’ has over 180 ‘sunrays’ composed of four different veneers, two light and two dark separated with brass inlays.
Each piece was individually placed and manipulated by professional, skilled hands to ensure the most seamless finish. Christoph Fondalinski, Vice President of Completions at Jet Aviation, said:
“Every interior we create is completely bespoke, hand-crafted by our team of some 200 skilled artisans in Basel. This particular design featured incredibly beautiful and complex detailing throughout, and these are paired with industry-leading engineering and innovation to optimize the sound and weight balance to exceed customer requirements and ensure the ultimate cabin experience in every aspect.”
The custom interior also features a large living and dining space with uniquely crafted ‘wingback’ seating and sofa areas, alongside a separate office with specially sourced embroidered wall finishings. And finally, there’s an ensuite bedroom with an attached bathroom dripped in golden black marble and beige onyx.

Bottom line
Since unveiling arguably the world’s first bespoke private aircraft interior nearly five decades ago in the June 1977 Paris Airshow, Jet Aviation has crafted over 400 customer interiors that include plenty of narrow- and widebody Airbus ACJ and Boeing BBJ interiors.
Each interior ever crafted has been one-of-a-kind, a hand-made reflection of the customer’s individual aesthetic or idea. And after seeing this latest customer interior on the ACJ319neo, it’s no wonder how Jet Aviation remained the pioneers and innovator leading this niche industry today.
