Greenpoint Technologies Wins Cabin Design Award at the 2026 International Yacht & Aviation Awards

Bothell, Wash.

Greenpoint Technologies, a Safran company and global leader in aircraft completions and modifications, won the Cabin Design Award at the International Yacht & Aviation Awards 2026 for its AeroSuite, a fully enclosed first-class suite designed in partnership with Studio E/Motions.

Hosted by leading interior design magazine design et al and leading yacht and aviation design magazine Luxe et al, the International Yacht & Aviation Awards recognize design excellence across the aviation and yachting industries. Winners were announced at the 2026 awards ceremony held in Venice, Italy, on 29 May.
Greenpoint developed the AeroSuite in response to growing demand for privacy and flexibility in large-cabin VVIP aircraft. The design combines a dedicated lie-flat bed and separate reclining lounge seat within a single enclosed space, enabling passengers to transition between rest, work, dining, and relaxation during long-range travel. The AeroSuite incorporates a sliding table, integrated storage, oversized monitor, full-height wardrobe, and customizable lighting, in-flight entertainment, and connectivity systems.

The AeroSuite is certified and in service on two BBJ 787-9 aircraft. Greenpoint partnered with Studio E/Motions on detailed design development and the selection of bespoke tactile materials for each installation. Designed for premium, low-density aircraft interiors, the platform can be adapted for integration across additional aircraft types, providing a flexible solution for long-range VIP travel. Future AeroSuite installations remain fully customizable based on operator requirements, design preferences, and operational needs.

"We're honored to receive the IYAA Cabin Design Award for AeroSuite, a concept that reflects Greenpoint's commitment to advancing the passenger experience through innovation, craftsmanship, and thoughtful design,” said McCahl Troupe, Principal Designer at Greenpoint Technologies. “It was a pleasure collaborating with Studio E/Motions, whose refined detailing and elegant design language brought exceptional character to every aspect of the suite. Together, we created a new vision for first-class travel in private and head-of-state aviation.”
