The Project: Modernising a Classic Twin-Engine Aircraft
The Piper PA30—also known as the Twin Comanche—is a beloved light twin-engine aircraft, known for its efficiency and performance. For this refurbishment, the goal was clear: deliver a modern, cohesive interior using luxurious finishes and meticulous craftsmanship.
Our team fully refurbished the cabin, including:
-
Custom seat upholstery
-
New carpet installation
-
Sidewall panel replacement
All interior components were carefully measured, fabricated, and installed to exacting standards—resulting in a fit and finish worthy of a modern executive aircraft.

Seat Upholstery
The seats were the highlight of this transformation. Each was recovered in charcoal grey aviation leather, featuring:
-
SP-1 perforated center inserts for a breathable, premium texture
-
Silver double stitching on the outer seams, providing subtle yet striking contrast
These choices combined to give the seats a refined and contemporary appearance, elevating the entire cabin space.
Carpet & Sidewalls
To complement the leather seating, we installed Zimmer plush carpet from our aviation-certified carpet range. This dark-toned cut pile carpet is not only soft underfoot but also durable enough for daily operations.
For the sidewall panels, we selected a slate-coloured vinyl with silver decorative stitching, creating a seamless flow of colour and texture throughout the aircraft.
The Result: A Piper PA30 Interior That Feels Brand New
Once completed, this Piper PA30 interior was virtually unrecognisable from its original state. The new materials, clean stitching lines, and balanced colour palette created an atmosphere of modern luxury and professional refinement.
From the plush carpet to the precisely stitched leather seats, every detail contributed to a cohesive design that reflects both function and elegance. The client’s reaction said it all—this upgrade not only met expectations, it exceeded them.
