Airbus creates cabin upgrades subsidiary

Airbus has created Airbus Interiors Services (AIS) to perform commercial aircraft cabin upgrade work, as a revamp of its former Airbus Corporate Jet Centre (ACJC) business. AIS, which is part of Services by Airbus, will support airlines with Airbus cabin upgrades under the parent manufacturer’s design organisation approval (DOA). “AIS will deliver upgrade solutions, tailored equipment and innovative products to Airbus standards,” Airbus said. The division is a reincarnation of Airbus corporate jet completions unit ACJC, which was formed in 2007. Unlike its predecessor, AIS will be dedicated to commercial aircraft work, subcontracting any business aviation refits to third-party providers. AIS’s specialisms will include the design and manufacture of tailored equipment, delivered either to Airbus or to airlines. <br/>
