FACC is responsible for the development and production of portions of the cabin interior of the business jet.
With its successful Challenger family of aircraft, the Canadian aircraft manufacturer Bombardier holds a pioneering crucial strategic position in the market segment of super mid-size jets. Recently, Bombardier launched the newest member of its business jet platform: the Challenger 3500. As a long-standing technology partner, FACC is responsible for the development and production of portions of the cabin interior of the business jet. This represents a major large-scale project for the Austrian aerospace group, which is now also successfully participating in the third Challenger generation with its tailor-made solutions.
Long-standing expertise, highest quality, reliability and only the very best premium materials: FACC has been elevating the interior of business jets to the highest level for decades. It therefore comes as no surprise that leading international aviation companies trust in FACC’s innovative strength. With Bombardier’s recent launch of the Challenger 3500 super mid-size business jet, the latest evolution of the successful Challenger 350, FACC was able to secure a major project from Bombardier by introducing innovative and inventive techniques. Having been on board since the first Challenger series, FACC will produce the cabinets, sidewalls, headliners, bulkheads and passenger service units for this new business jet.
“The new Challenger 3500 aircraft stands for the ultimate cabin experience, to which we will be making a significant contribution. As a long-standing development and manufacturing partner, we are very proud to be able to stand by Bombardier as a strong partner for the Challenger 3500 – that will feature impressive performance, consistent reliability, an exceptional smooth ride, and an elevated cabin experience. Building on our many years of know-how and our innovative strength with regard to complex, high-quality interior systems, our teams of FACC experts have joined forces to create a completely new business travel experience,” said Robert Machtlinger, CEO of FACC AG.
FACC is responsible for the development, production and certification of portions of the cabin, from the interior lining and PSU to the wardrobe, galley, various cabinets, tables, baggage compartments, partitions, cabling and lavatory. Each cabin is custom-made, the components are painted, veneered or covered with leather on request and delivered fully assembled to the Bombardier end line in Montreal (Canada).
For the coming years, FACC will be providing Challenger 3500 jets with cabin elements of the highest quality and customized solutions. The first aircraft will be delivered in the second half of 2022. “The redesigned cabin components combine high-quality, sustainable materials and state-of-the-art technologies with the highest standards in terms of aesthetics, comfort and functionality. Passengers can look forward to an exceptional cabin experience in the new Challenger 3500. What is particularly pleasing is that FACC is once again on board as a proven and trusted partner of the latest member of the Challenger family“, comments Machtlinger.
