Rayfitout's Cessna Citation Jet Interior Renovation Process

  1. 1.

    Cabin Assessment & Project Brief

    Rayfitout begins by assessing the existing Citation cabin, including seating, upholstery, flooring, cabinetry, veneers, lighting, soft furnishings, and visible interior finishes. The assessment identifies components for retention, refurbishment, replacement, or upgrade. We establish the owner's or operator's requirements for cabin appearance, passenger use, functionality, budget, and project scope, then define the refurbishment priorities and required deliverables.

  2. 2.

    Interior Design & Material Specification

    Our designers establish the cabin design direction around the approved refurbishment brief and existing aircraft configuration. A considered palette of colours, upholstery, flooring, veneers, finishes, and interior details is developed for the cabin. Material selections are reviewed against the intended application, cabin requirements, and approved specification before the complete refurbishment scheme is finalized.

  3. 3.

    Bespoke Fabrication & Aircraft Installation

    The approved design is translated into fabrication drawings and detailed production requirements for bespoke aircraft interior components. Rayfitout's in-house joinery facility produces custom cabinetry, storage units, credenzas, veneer elements, and other specified components to suit the Citation cabin. Upholstery and other refurbishment elements are prepared for installation, with aircraft installation coordinated alongside the relevant aviation requirements and specialist teams.

  4. 4.

    Final Review, Finishing & Cabin Completion

    Following installation, Rayfitout reviews the completed cabin against the approved refurbishment specification. Seating, upholstery, cabinetry, flooring, lighting, veneers, and other interior details are checked for fitment and finish. Outstanding finishing items are addressed before the refurbished cabin is completed, reviewed with the owner, and prepared for final handover.

Citation cabin interior refurbished in line with aviation requirements

Aviation Requirements for Citation Interior Refurbishment

Citation interior refurbishment requires thoughtful consideration of applicable aviation requirements alongside the design and renovation scope, particularly when the work involves aircraft components, cabin systems, materials, electrical installations, or modifications to the existing interior. For UAE-registered aircraft, applicable changes and repairs are subject to the UAE GCAA regulatory framework, with approval handled by the GCAA or an appropriately authorized UAE design organization under CAR 21 requirements. Rayfitout coordinates the refurbishment process with the relevant aviation specialists and approved organizations, incorporating applicable requirements into design development, material selection, fabrication, documentation, installation, inspection, and project planning. Required technical documentation and approval submissions are coordinated with the appropriate parties, with the specific process determined by the aircraft registration, proposed modification, certification basis, and applicable regulatory requirements. This coordinated approach keeps the cabin design, refurbishment work, documentation, installation, and approval activities aligned throughout the project.
