Tying refurbishment items to your aircraft’s maintenance visits is not a new concept, but did you know you have options even when you’re going to be down only a few days? Here are the four quickest ways to refresh your aircraft during your next maintenance visit.

Recover the Airstair

Your airstair material can either be subtle or used to create a design statement. I recommend selecting a material that ties the exterior paint with the interior design of the cabin.

They start by removing your existing material and prep the surface for the application of the new covering. Technicians can recover your airstair in just 2-3 business days. 

Install Woven Vinyl in your Entry, Galley, and Lavatory

Utilizing woven vinyl in your entry, galley, and lavatories is one of my top recommendations to clients. It’s a beautiful product that’s typically in stock and comes in many designs and colors to coordinate with your existing carpet. Aside from making your aircraft feel fresher, it’s also extremely functional. Vinyl is easy to clean for those high-traffic areas and wet zones. 

Your refurbishment facility will start by making a template of the space that’s receiving the new flooring material. After removing your existing flooring, they utilize the template to create a perfect fit for the new underlayment and woven vinyl. It’s important to note that this installation is the quickest when your aircraft has existing threshold plates in the desired area. For in-stock materials, this installation only takes 2-3 business days. 

Update your Loose Equipment 

Don’t underestimate the power of bringing fresh pillows and throw blankets into your cabin. Incorporating new and modern color schemes through loose equipment can bring new life to any interior. 

You don’t need to have your aircraft down for maintenance at all to get started on updating your loose equipment. Custom pillows, throw blankets, and other items can be shipped directly to your hangar. 

Maintenance Covers

The same way designer shoes and handbags come with dust covers, you should be protecting your luxury interior with covers. Invest in quality maintenance runners and covers for your interior to keep dust, dirt, and debris off your seats and carpet. Your refurbishment facility will use high-quality performance materials for our maintenance cover to protect your cabin. They tailor the cabin seat covers to each of your chairs and utilize a template to create a perfect fitting carpet maintenance runner. They can create these maintenance covers for you in 3-4 business days.

I hope you found these quick aircraft refreshers helpful, and I look forward to the opportunity to help you with all the details. Please contact Autumn Elizabeth Design for more design information to schedule a quick refresh item during your next maintenance event.
