Describe the initial consultation with a private jet owner seeking a bespoke interior? What's discussed during the first few meetings, and how, if needed, are compromises reached regarding safety and practicality? It all starts with an idea of what the customer wants to achieve from a range and payload point of view. What are the most travelled city pairs? How many passengers are the norm on board? If we then look at a suitable aircraft type, we can go from there to plan the interior. What sort of amenities, comfort, and sleeping arrangements does the customer wish for? Quite often, the first discussions are around a floorplan of the proposed aircraft - where is it best to place bedroom, lounges, cinema etc. Once we know the sort of passenger density and range, we can then advise on what the expected service might be on a ten-hour flight, for example, what galley space and equipment might be suitable, what amount of stowage is likely, and where to place it. No matter what is wished for or how much space and money a client might think they have, there will always be compromises to their initial ideas. At ALTEA, we minimise those compromises and maximise a customer's ambitions to make them a reality.
