Athens-based aircraft charter and management company Amjet Executive has embarked on a major interior refurbishment of its vvip-configured MD-83.

The jet is expected to be back in service during March, complete with a 42-seat cabin divided between a vip section of three lounges, a premium business class section and a first class section. It will have three lavatories, eight television screens, two espresso machines and capacity for 100 pieces of baggage.

"The refurbishment will ensure that our guests will benefit from our high standard of comfort within a quiet and efficient cabin atmosphere," says chairman Capt Abakar Manany.

The MD-83 was manufactured in 1992 and will now have an interior much like the rest of Amjet Executive fleet. It includes a private salon with a direct access to the master bedroom and its lavatory. In addition, the process will involve changing or refurbishing all seats, carpets, woods, windows panels and shades, as well as ceiling panels. All the materials chosen are said to be of high quality, coming from the best manufacturers in the world.

The company is also studying the possibility to install a Wi-Fi service on board this aircraft during 2013.

Amjet's extensive fleet also includes Falcon 50, 2000, 900 and 7X types, and Airbus A319. During the coming year a second Falcon 7X will be added to the line-up and this will be available for charter.
