SR Technics installs Upper Class Suite for Virgin Atlantic

January 31, 2013 – Zurich, Switzerland: SR Technics has signed an agreement with Virgin Atlantic for a cabin modification program fitting its new Upper Class Suite on the airline’s A330 fleet. As part of the agreement, SR Technics will install new seating, a dedicated bar area, club lighting and the Panasonic eXPhone system on five of the airline’s 10-strong Airbus A330-300 aircraft fleet.

Virgin Atlantic has taken delivery of five Airbus A330-300 aircraft in a two-class configuration of Premium Economy and Economy in the last 18 months. SR Technics will be fitting these aircraft with the airline’s redesigned Upper Class cabin. The installation on the first aircraft was completed in Zurich and was redelivered on-time in December 2012. The full modification project is estimated to run for approximately 11 months.

“We are delighted to be partnering with Virgin Atlantic as they introduce this innovative technology and design to their fleet. SR Technics’ long-standing, high-end cabin modification experience will stand the project in good stead as we draw on our engineering, project management and mechanics’ experience to deliver an exciting bar concept within Virgin Atlantic’s new Airbus A330 fleet,” comments, André Wall, President, SR Technics.

Kevin Dudley, GM Cabin Product & Maintenance for Virgin Atlantic, commented: “It’s great to be working with SR Technics on this project. We have had really positive feedback from our passengers on our redesigned Upper Class cabin and we are delighted to partner with SR Technics in order to install it across our entire A330-300 fleet.”
