  • Crew Seats:

    • The two crew seats are high-back seats with hexagonal-style headrests.

    • The seat frames were sent to Generation Global for refurbishment, including cleaning, preparation, and repainting in a satin black finish before being upholstered.

    • Seat Covers: Manufactured from black leather (ADI-1091), the leather on the seat face center panels is perforated and features horizontal seams, giving the seats their structured look.

    • The outer seams of the seats are stitched with decorative black double stitching, providing a sleek and professional appearance.

  • Control Boots & Pull Handles:

    • New control boots and pull handles were also manufactured using the same black leather as the seat covers, maintaining a cohesive and premium look throughout the interior.

  • Floor Coverings:

    • The cabin floor coverings were made from a lightweight slate-colored nylon carpet known for its durability and high-wear resistance, ensuring longevity and comfort in the aircraft's demanding environment.

This interior upgrade combines comfort, functionality, and durability, providing a high standard of service for the air ambulance crew and passengers.
