At AeroVisto business jet refurbishment is our great passion. Thanks to numerous projects, we have great expertise in this area and already offer our customers many convincing solutions. However, in search of the best experience for our customers, we are always looking for new ways to set an example in our industry.
Therefore, we are pleased to offer our customers something completely new and unique: Professional design collections for business jet interiors. What motivated us to do this? When it comes to interior design in aviation, the highend cabins of big corporate and private VVIP Aircraft definitely set the standards in the industry. In such wide and narrow body aircraft, no effort and expense is spared to achieve the perfect result. With great effort and according to all rules of the art, professional designers ensure on the one hand that the interior optimally reflects the wishes and ideas of the owner, and on the other hand that the limits of what is possible are pushed again and again – by the intelligent and artistic use of the latest techniques and innovative materials. But have you ever wondered: Why do design solutions in this particular form, not also exist in the business jet aviation class? Well, at AeroVisto we have studied this issue in detail and found that there is no real reason. So, as part of the „Aviation Design Initiative“ we launched, we decided to create our own design collections, to bring this super professional approach to aviation interior design also into the class of business jets. By doing so, we want to provide aircraft owners a special and highly professional support for their next refurbishment projects. Since we want to handle a very complex topic, we are very happy about the powerful support of Warja S. Borges and her company Unique Aircraft.
WWW.AVIATIONHEAVEN.COM
Warja is a worldwide known and highly valued expert in the field of aviation interior design. In the past months, she has not only taken us into her very special interior design world, but has also already designed three exclusive collections for AeroVisto. These collections will be integral to future business jet refurbishment projects, where they will play an important role in the design consulting process.
AHGUIDE
And here they are — the three design collections through which the look and feel VVIP aircraft finds its way into business jet aviation:
What is so special about this exclusive cooperation between Warja Borges and AeroVisto? Well, basically you can say that what belongs together comes together: the expert knowledge of an experienced aviation interior designer and the skills of experts with many years of experience in business jet interior facelifting. And this combination results in unique advantages for our customers. Owners, charters and brokers of pre-owned aircraft now have access to high-end design solutions and can bring the high-end touch of VVIP cabins to their own jets.
This allows them to take advantage of opportunities that would usually exceed the typical budget for refurbishment projects in the business jet aviation class. In the coming weeks, we will provide more details about the three collections, how they work, how their components can be combined to create custom designs, and the many opportunities and benefits they provide to our customers.
In this way, we would like to highlight that in addition to the usual OEM offerings, there are also solutions that will provide business jet owners a true high-end experience that is still affordable. At AeroVisto, we are very much looking forward to our ongoing collaboration with Warja Borges. And we are very much looking forward to working with you — our valued clients and partners — to take interior design in aviation to the next level.

Benefits of Owning a Private Jet Can Push Your Business to New Limits Purchasing a private jet might just give your business the boost it needs. It may sound like a huge endeavor, but have you ever really considered the benefits of owning a business aircraft? For many companies private jets are not a luxury item, but rather an essential tool used to increase business efficiency. A business aircraft gives you more control over your schedule, enables your team to be more productive with their time, and provides enhanced security while traveling.
Manage Your Time Efficiently Passengers traveling commercially, on average, spend at least 90 minutes waiting at an airport for domestic flights and up to three hours for international flights. Travelling by private aircraft eliminates almost all of the time spent waiting for a flight. Private jet passengers can arrive at the terminal 15 minutes before departure and still have time to complete travel procedures like immigration, customs, and boarding. Some, however, like to arrive a little earlier to enjoy fresh coffee, a snack and a conversation before boarding. Business jets also allow your management team to maximize their productivity while onboard. Team members can use the high-performance internet offered to complete any work they may have. For companies who consider time as valuable as money, this is one of the biggest benefits of owning a private jet. Private travel provides the freedom to fly anywhere

according to your own schedule. This is ideal for passengers who are always on the go or for those who often need to travel at short notice. Private aircraft can be arranged within a few hours and passengers can reschedule their flights as needed. With travel policies constantly changing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this flexibility is more valuable than ever.
Considerable Increase in Operational Productivity Each company has their own explanation for deciding to embrace of private aviation. However, almost all businesses cite increased operational efficiency as one of the main benefits of owning a private jet. These aircraft not only allow companies to fly on their own schedule, but also provide access to significantly more airports (many of which are not served by commercial airlines), ensuring that you and your team members can land at the airport closest to your destination.
AHGUIDE
A private jet can also be used to safely transport tools and materials. The flexibility that these aircraft offer allows critical items – including specialists to perform repairs - to be moved to where they are needed fast and efficiently, saving time, money and headaches. This enables your team to move quickly and solve urgent problems with the tools they need. . Working productively on a commercial flight is almost impossible. Even sending an email can be difficult with poor internet connection, distractions all around you, and absolutely no privacy. Private aviation is just that…private. The only people on board are the ones who have been invited. This provides a quiet environment for your team to go over important details for an upcoming meeting, discuss company strategies, and actually complete meaningful work while in the air. The privacy of a business aircraft also helps passengers better relax while onboard. You can choose to sit wherever you would like, move freely around the cabin, and comfortable beds can be arranged for overnight flights. Entertainment systems will vary depending on the aircraft, but most provide a way for travelers to listen to music, watch movies, and enjoy satellite TV.
Top Class Security for Your Top Management Team One of the most important reasons so many companies prefer traveling by private jet is the added security. Business aircraft allow employees to have meetings and work on important material in a secure environment. Employees can openly discuss proprietary information without the fear of eavesdropping. Passengers who feel they are easily recognizable also appreciate the security of private jets, where they can travel in peace without interruptions. (In some cases, high-profile passengers choose to travel privately to avoid threats on their physical safety.) Private jet charters provide more security and privacy than all other forms of travel. This level of security is important for key business deals, mergers/acquisitions, recruitment of top talent, and other highly sensitive business meetings. Over time, a private jet can actually end up helping to drive sales and profit growth. Reports have shown that S&P 500 companies who use private aviation will outperform those who don’t by 70% and beat nonusers in revenue growth by 23%. A private jet might be the one thing you still need to drive your business even farther forward. Our team of private aviation experts are always available to help you identify the optimum aircraft for your business needs.

If your team is constantly organizing meetings in different cities across the country, then a private jet can provide incredible cost-saving advantages. While a trip between several cities using commercial airlines could easily take a week, with a business aircraft, you can reach multiple destinations in a single day. Instead of paying for hotels and meals, all of your meetings can happen in one day and the entire team can be back home in time for dinner

CAMO - AIRCRAFT UTILIZATION
The practical guide how to get things done!
Each Aircraft Maintenance Manual has an Airplane Utilization section which defines a lower and an upper limit of hours flown per year. This can be for example on a Citation 560XL between 200 HRS and 1,300 HRS a year. As long as the aircraft is operated in that framework the regular inspection intervals are to be used. But what if the aircraft is not used for certain circumstances and falls below the lower limit?
When to use the Low Utilization Programme If you come to the point where the aircraft is not used for more than the lower limit on yearly hours then often you have to contact the Manufacturer/Type Certificate Holder and ask for a Low Utilization Maintenance Program (LUMP). Some Manufacturers do provide a LUMP as standard within the Aircraft Maintenance Manual or seperately.
If the low utilization is only temporarily for example if the aircraft was in storage due to a sales process and was therefore not flown more than the lower limit its always a good idea to contact your authority to discuss this matter as it will save you time and money when you have to move into the LUMP and out again in a short time period.
What changes in the LUMP So when your aircraft will be operated under the LUMP the major of the task intervals will change from hourly to monthly intervals due to the low hours the aircraft is flying. This can drive up the costs of the maintenance on a great level since you have to do certain inspections more often than when you operate on the regular maintenance program. Finally, when to move into the LUMP it depends on the actual hours flown in the past year, which to evaluate is part of your aircraft maintenance program effectivity analysis which should be done on a yearly basis, and on the planned flight hours forecasted for the coming year. When in doubt it is always good to discuss this with your authority and with the Manufacturer/TC Holder to make sure the aircraft will be maintained in the best practical way.
