JET CABIN FRESHBOOK Magazine is the world's only all-digital publication focussed entirely on jet interiors. We do not publish broad spectrum aviation news or content. The magazine and it's goals were an outgrowth of our founder's career-long profession as a designer of VVIP aircraft interiors. His singularly focussed goal in establishing JCF Magazine was to present Designers, Completion Centers, Flight Departments and Purchasing Agents with the very latest and most innovative interior related products and services by the top cabin suppliers from around the world. JCF provides in-depth coverage of the latest design trends, new materials, emerging technologies and continually showcases the world's top designers. To this day JCF Magazine maintains the most comprehensive categorized listing of Cabin Supplier Groups - worldwide.
JCF Magazine is also proud to maintain the world's only fully comprehensive global listing of top aviation interior designers from around the world. GLOBAL DESIGN ROSTER was developed exclusively for Operators & Flight Departments in need of design resources as they approach new projects. Each of the more than sixty renown designers have been vetted and most have OEM certifications and other industry accepted credentials and awards.
Our key areas of coverage are: Interior Cabin Design / Cabin hygiene / Cabin management • Food & Galley Service • Completions and Refurbishment / Carpet & Flooring / IFE and CMS / Lavs / Lighting / Seating /Textiles and leather / Trends & Emerging Technologies - and all relevant news directly related to interiors.

There have been numerous analogies drawn over the decades in parallelling the art of jet cabin interiors - but perhaps none more "fitting" than Stephan Theis's - Senior Technical Manager at Camber Aviation Management. He nails it in this piece delineating the close relationship between the tailoring of a fine hand-crafted suit - and the very similar, equally intensive exercise of designing and crafting a completely custom jet interior. Regrettably, I've never treated myself to a finely tailored suit -perhaps the reason I've never considered such an analogy. But as you read this thoughtful, interesting story, you'll understand just how characteristically similar the two enterprises truly are.
In this entry of Jetzign, we focus on Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJ) and the nucleus of its creative arm. Heading up the team is one Sylvain Mariat; Head of Creative Design - a role he seems quite comfortable in. ACJ has been around since 1997 and has undergone a lot of changes in the time since. Today we focus on Mr. Mariat and his team as they establish a new creative mark for both ACJ and the clients they serve.
In this article, you will see why Mr. Mariat's wealth of prior experince led him here and how his leadership is poised to take the ACJ program to the next level.
To say F/LIST has remained one of the largest and most influential presences in our industry, is an understatement. It was our pleasure to visit with their team last month in compiling this informative piece not only on their success and their legendary innovations, but the wonderful 75 year family history upon which this great Austrian based company is built.
Katharina List-Nagl (the company's CEO) continues to realize her grandfather's pioneering spirit and vision, which you will clearly come to understand as the article unfolds.
From a little-known part of CA to a little-known berg in Arkansas, comes a famously-known little supplier whose reputation has been well-cultivated over time. Aircraft interior hardware has two primary functions . . . look amazing and perform flawlessly. That's precisely the stock and trade of one Galley Support Innovations - a.k.a. GSI. This company not only talks the talk, they but they walk the walk. How can we say that and not come off sounding gratuitous? Because they have and continue to supply virtually every major OEM and center in the country with accolades being slung here there and yonder - year after year. As I discovered, It's companies like GSI that makes you look good when the customers show up to take delivery of their aircraft.
Most of us in the industry have a good understanding about the unique and valuable rolle that cabin crew play - when it comes to better understand what it "really" requires when planning and designing a corporate jet cabin. How an aircraft interior "looks" when it rolls out of a cabin is one thing. How it functions is quite another.
In this thoughtful, insightful piece, Ms Lauren Baum - a seasoned veteran corporate flight attendant, takes us through her experiences both inside and outside the cabin and how it's helped her employer make more informed decisions on everything from their aircrafts' interior design to staffing and the efficiencies of cabin service in flight.
It can be argued that with any serious professional photographer, 'getting the shot' is everything. But there is a certain seduction about photographing a private jet. In the first place they are, by their very nature, sleek and beautiful. Ok, so you could argue the same about a beautiful car. . . but then not everybody has a private jet in their garage. I could go on about the distinction of jets over other photographic subjects. I might even be able to write a thousand words about it, but as good ole' Fred Barnard once pointed out, just show me a picture and skip the thousand words. With that in mind, in this piece we let Colin Chatfield show us the product of his keen shutter-sense and why he prefers to let his skilfully crafted images do the talking.
Take a look around your cool mid-century livingroom - or maybe the study you maticulously renovated last year. Let your eyes drift over to the folded cashmere blanket resting across the arm of your prized Eames chair. Or check out the Steuben decanter your brother sent you from Portugal, flanked by two hyper-cool double old-fashion whiskey glasses - also resting just where you placed them. Oh and what about the vintage circa 1905 Mark Cross travel case you stumbled onto in Istanbul. Things are important to us. For some in fact, things are reminders of the life we've lived or the aesthetic of a past era - one we imagine ourselves having lived in. But sometimes, its about the things inside the thing - like the things inside your new Gulfstream.
Our Cover Story
YACHTSPACE started as a dare. That is to say one of our close colleagues kept rasing the suggestion that we needed to develop a section that featured yachts. When we told him "We're only about aircraft interiors" it seemed only to strengthen his resolve. Under his insistence that the customers are essentially one and the same, we relented and now it's become an increasingly popular section in the magazine.
This entry is focussed on Sailing Yacht "A", one of the world's most famous yachts and certainly one of the largest sailing yachts ever built. But perhaps the best part is that this yacht was designed by the legendary Philippe Starck. You'll enjoy this one.
Ever board a commercial aircraft and immediately get hit with the smell of jet fuel or hydraulic fluid? It's a rhetorical question because of course you have. We all have. For most of us, we sorta shrug it off. It goes with the territory as the saying goes. But it's more than a benign mechanical odor. It's damaging to our respiratory system and our overall health. And the more often you're on commercial jets - the more it impacts you. But after four decades of sweeping the issue under the rug, it looks like an organization has finally brought it to the forefront and isn't about to leave until the problem is addressed and the hole closed, so to speak, once and for all.
Words From The Editor

From The Editor
Airline crews and passengers have been complaining of health effects from exposure to contaminated air on aircraft (Aerotoxic Syndrome) for over 4 decades. The first documented case of aircrew impairment from exposure to contaminated air dates back to the early 1950s on military aircraft.
The breathing air supply on commercial jet aircraft, known as ‘bleed air’, is known to become contaminated with engine oil, engine oil decomposition products and/or hydraulic fluids.
Over the last 20 years, there have been over 50 recommendations and findings made by 12 air accident departments globally, directly related to contaminated air exposures on passenger jet aircraft. The British Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB), has twice called for contaminated air warning systems to be installed on all large passenger transport aircraft. However, these critical safety recommendations, endorsed by the Global Cabin Air Quality Executive (GCAQE) (gcaqe.org), have been ignored by aircraft manufacturers and aviation regulators such as the FAA, EASA and the UK CAA.
There is FAR more on this subject but it's an important one to all of us who fly commercially - not to mention the overall fight against giant corporations and industry that simply ignore such issues because it's too costly or disruptive to address.
I urge you to visit the GLOBAL CABIN AIR QUALITY EXECUTIVE's website here and learn more. The initiatives being taken by this organization are bot necessary and powerful.
Let's all do everything we can to support this issue.
