Video: Celestial Star - The Future For Business Cabins

Angus Batey, Show News writer for Aviation Week Network, had a conversation with Wieland Timm, Senior Director of Sales for VIP and Special Mission Aircraft Services at Lufthansa Technik, about the Celestial Star 777 design at EBACE 2024.

The Celestial Star provides a glimpse into how a 777 could be outfitted with a VIP cabin, featuring a luxurious private office, conference room, and first-class and business-class seating for delegates. It showcases what could be possible in the future, offering comfortable seating areas during the flight. One of the most impressive features is the bedroom, designed to create a personalized environment with a centrally positioned bed, surrounding shades, and separate rooms. The rooms are equipped with a projection system on the ceiling that can display any desired content, creating a unique and immersive experience.
