Boeing Global Transport & Executive Systems To Install
Aeroloft On 747-8 Intercontinental Airplanes
The Boeing Company has been selected by Greenpoint Technologies
(GTI) to install the company's Aeroloft modification on four new
747-8 Intercontinental VIP airplanes purchased by customers of
Boeing Business Jets. Greenpoint Technologies is a recognized
Boeing Business Jets completion center in Kirkland, WA. The
airplanes will be modified starting later this year at Boeing's
Global Transport & Executive Systems (GTES) facility in
Wichita.
"Boeing is excited to be part of the team that will provide this
capability for the new 747-8 Intercontinental," said Boeing GTES
Director and General Manager Steve Wade. "GTES has a long history
of modifying Boeing's commercial platforms -- including 747 VIP
airplanes -- and we hope this is the first of many opportunities to
support GTI on similar projects."
The Aeroloft is a passenger area installed above the 747-8
Intercontinental's main deck between doors four and five, forward
of the overhead crew rest. The modification includes installation
of a staircase, an entry vestibule, a lounge, sleeping berths, and
a crew rest adapter module. GTI is the exclusive provider of this
product. "Partnering with GTES on the Aeroloft installation is an
ideal solution," said GTI President Scott Goodey. "Our working
relationship spans more than 10 years of GTI support for executive
head-of-state interior modifications. This combined expertise
benefits our customers with a beautiful, reliable product."
