“I want what I want, when I want it.” It sounds like the petulant voice of a pampered diva, or a corporate executive with delusions of grandeur. Actually, it’s pretty much any of us. Perhaps not in such a demanding fashion, but we’d all like to have what we want when we want it. And that is pretty much the driving force behind business aircraft cabin furnishings and equipment.
The business jet is both a business tool and a means of personal transportation. And what the corporate executives and the private owners in the cabin have long demanded is an imperceptible passage from the office or home to the aircraft cabin. They want the same sense of belonging, the same décor. But more than anything else they want to be able to pick up the remote and discover at their fingertips the same user-friendly access to entertainment and information systems that they had at the office or at home. The problem has been that what they demanded was not available. But that’s changing.
