AIM Altitude's Bournemouth complex nears completion
Once finished, the cabin interiors team will be equipped with ultra-modern facilities, enabling them to continue to provide the highest quality of bars, lounges and monuments, with even greater capacity and reduced time-to-market.
A significant financial investment will see the consolidation of AIM Altitude’s existing facilities into a single, purpose-built manufacturing environment. The new building will be 168,000 square-feet, providing 30% additional capacity for the design, engineering and manufacture of aircraft cabin interiors.
Dave Poole, HS&E and Facilities Manager at AIM Altitude Cabin Interiors, said: “The fit-out is now well underway, with internal walls currently being constructed and it is an exciting time for all our stakeholders. For our team, the new facilities provide them with first-rate work space. For our airline customers, the extra capacity will allow us to meet the increasing demands for premium bars and monuments. We very much look forward to having the whole Cabin Interiors business under one roof.”
AIM Altitude is creating a dedicated Customer Zone within the new Bournemouth facility.
“This is an important addition for our customers,” explained Dave Poole. “It will enable them to view full-size mock-ups of interiors and styling options, whilst maintaining vital design confidentiality.”
AIM Altitude’s new facility is due to be fully operational in the autumn.
