London, 19 April 2013: Hosted by leading interior design magazine design et al, the International Yacht & Aviation Awards rewarded the best in design from around the globe; the Private Jet Design Award went to Boutsen Aviation's A319CJ.
Thierry Boutsen, Founder/President of Boutsen Aviation,
said, "The aircraft we submitted was in fact the 123rd aircraft we sold
and our first Airbus A319 Corporate Jet. We managed the whole acquisition
process from the purchase of the green aircraft and cabin completion to
redelivery. We entrusted the cabin design and completion to Jet Aviation
Basel." He added, "I am
absolutely delighted. This award marks the full transition in careers, from trophies and awards as a driver in
Formula 1, to this prestigious award in my life's newer career in high-line
aviation."
This Airbus A319CJ, delivered in 2010, features 3 living
areas: a forward "VVIP lounge" and eating area; a mid-cabin bedroom
with bathroom and shower; and an
entourage area with business class seating for 20.
Daniela Boutsen, head of Boutsen's equipment department
noted, "Our designworks so well: the aircraft is used not only by the
owner; it is also offered for charter worldwide. With a range of 5,000 NM and
450 Kt cruise and its extremely high quality and versatile type of interior,
this elite aircraft is very well suited for Chiefs of State and government
travel; or conversely for sports teams and headline entertainers."

companies in this segment," says Mr. Boutsen. "We represent customers

win."

can purchase, under one roof, everything
needed to enhance their VVIP cabins. This "One Stop Shop for Cabin
