Piper PA-601 Aerostar Interior Refurbishment – A Stylish Upgrade
Project Summary
This Piper PA-601 Aerostar refurbishment project was completed at Generation Global's New Zealand facility, showcasing our ability to elevate aircraft interiors with quality craftsmanship and materials. The refurbishment included seat upholstery, sidewall linings, floor coverings, and headlining, transforming this classic American twin-engine aircraft into a modern, refined flying experience.

Seating:
The seats were restored with a refined design, featuring black leather as the main upholstery material. The inserts were crafted from black suede, with a vertical line of blue double-stitching running down the center. The blue stitching is also visible on the outer seams, creating a clean and sophisticated aesthetic. The Aerostar logo was meticulously embossed onto the backrest of each seat, just below the headrest, adding a personalized touch to the interior.
Sidewalls:
The cabin sidewalls were recovered in a woven fabric that brings together a mix of blacks, greys, browns, and whites, harmonizing with the overall interior design. The top sill edge of the lower sidewalls was finished in black microfibre leather, complementing the seating design for a cohesive look.
Floor Coverings:
We chose Genflor Zimmer carpet for the flooring, which was also extended to the lower portion of the sidewalls. The carpet edges were securely tucked under a metallic lip, with black mesh binding neatly framing the carpet edges. In the luggage area, we installed a graphite felt-backed carpet for a clean, durable finish that enhances both form and function.
Headlining and Trim:
The headlining was crafted from white vinyl, a choice that brightens the cabin and enhances the sense of space. The rear bulkhead was similarly wrapped in white vinyl, and the plastic trim was carefully painted to match. To complete the look, the Aerostar logo was debossed into the rear bulkhead vinyl, reinforcing the aircraft’s identity and tying together the entire interior theme.
A Modern Touch for a Timeless Aircraft
This Piper PA-601 Aerostar refurbishment project underscores Generation Global’s dedication to high-quality, custom aircraft interiors. The combination of sleek leather seating, fabric sidewalls, tailored floor coverings, and attention to detail has revitalized the Aerostar, merging contemporary style with the aircraft's classic charm.
