Following a comprehensive six-month heavy maintenance check, complemented by a bespoke interior and exterior refurbishment, this highly advanced long-range heavy jet has returned to service refreshed inside and out. From its striking, custom-tailored exterior paintwork to it contemporary cabin, the newly optimised G-SUGR stands ready to welcome the world’s most discerning travellers.
At Air Charter Scotland, our aircraft management and maintenance packages are designed for owners and clients who expect exceptional standards of care. We believe that a private jet must be stewarded with equal attention to its aesthetic prestige and to mechanical integrity. Every asset under our care is treated with unparalleled diligence, ensuring it operates at its absolute peak performance throughout its working life.
The transformation of G-SUGR exemplifies this approach. By working in close harmony with our trusted maintenance partner, Inflite, we used a scheduled routine maintenance check as the perfect window to completely overhaul the aircraft’s interior and exterior. The result is a seamless execution of heavy engineering and high design, giving the aircraft the appearance and feel of a brand-new cabin while retaining the proven reliability of the Legacy 650 platform.
Executed by the renowned aircraft paintwork specialists at Airbourne Colours in Exeter, the jet’s new exterior combines a sophisticated light grey base with medium and dark grey striping, creating a clean, modern and distinctive presence. This custom palette accentuates the powerful lines and timeless elegance inherent to the Legacy 650 profile. Inside, the design experts at Inflite mirrored the exterior’s cool, contemporary tones. Passengers are welcomed into a meticulously tailored environment boasting cream leather seating, rich chocolate brown soft furnishings, and a state-of-the-art, uplifting mood lighting system. This modern aesthetic infuses the spacious cabin with an atmosphere of absolute serenity and warmth, allowing discerning travellers to effortlessly relax, work, or unwind throughout the entirety of their journey.
