Taking care of regional preferences<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\nRegional preferences also extend to the cabin interiors and decor, Zanetto said.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the Middle East has developed its own taste, which is far from the rich and overstated cabin of some 20 years ago, very luxurious, almost baroque,\u201d he explained, adding that it\u2019s complex to perform maintenance on these types of cabins.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
They often require a very good designer to interpret the style to fit aviation regulations, he continued.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Those regional variations, however, are being eroded by time, as aesthetic tastes seem to be converging, at least when it comes to cabin interiors.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey went more modern, mixing a bit of classic with a more, let\u2019s say, Western style,\u201d Zanetto said. \u201cIn Europe and the US design tends to be very minimal, all white, which is demanding for maintenance, and maybe not that cozy as well.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHere people like cabins that are luxurious, but also with a lot of space and not too many monuments. They like space, open areas, where you can have a meeting for 12 people, get together and have discussions with your friends and business partners. I think that is the trend.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ultimately, style will be determined by the personal taste of the VIP who owns the aircraft.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re also looking to work together with designers on very unique concepts. But at the end, it\u2019s about the taste of the VIP and sometimes they don\u2019t get together with a strong designer, they prefer a designer that follows their own views,\u201d Zanetto explained.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The type of decor and style can also affect the market value of an aircraft, just as it would affect the value of a house or another asset with a high price tag.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s accept the fact that a very personal design is a minus because it will be very difficult to find another person that will like exactly that,\u201d Zanetto said. \u201cYou think about your dreams, what you like, what you want, as a couple, as a person, as an investor, and you don\u2019t think about the time when you are going to sell it. I think that is not the spirit of the design of an aircraft like this. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, the more unique the aircraft, probably the less it may be sold for. These aircraft depreciate less than the normal business jet, even if the business jets are, in fact, less customized.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before concluding our conversation Zanetto had time to touch upon another important aspect of the VIP flight experience which sets the large, converted VIP airliners aside from the smaller purpose-built jets \u2013 onboard service.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe clients are similar [between different types of business jet] because they are very demanding, but with a classical business jet you have one person that does the service, and the limits of one person. But when you have such a big aircraft you can have a team, which is able to provide more sophisticated catering services to more people.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zanetto explained how in certain cultures, for example, the Middle East or China, having a long meal in a social setting may be far more important than, say, in a Western setting, where meals are something often quicker and merely functional. So, in terms of service, there\u2019s a huge requirement with all the related training and coordination on the part of the crew. \u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd, of course, they are very demanding clients,\u201d Zanetto said. \u201cThey ask to be served the way and [within] the time they want. We do internal training, but our crew is also trained at one of the most prestigious hospitality schools \u00c9cole h\u00f4teli\u00e8re de Lausanne. That is the kind of training that we have done for few years in a row in order to elevate our standards and the flying experience to the very best.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
