AviTrader MRO 360° – Cabin Retrofits: It’s All About Passenger Experience

Vallair Chief Commercial and Marketing Officer, Pascal Parant, spoke to David Dundas on the subject of cabin retrofits in the September 2025 issue of MRO 360°.

“A cabin standard rarely remains competitive for more than ten years,” he explains. He emphasises the importance of distinguishing retrofits by the aircraft type and the operator’s profile. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the market is essential. “On long-haul routes, for example, competition to offer the most advanced product is particularly fierce. We’ve seen Air France launch its new first-class suite, as well as numerous business-class refurbishments introducing 2-1-2 layouts, mini-suites, and the latest IFE features, including personal headset pairing. As these features become the norm, airlines must upgrade their cabins to remain competitive and attract high-revenue customers.”
