Bucher Unveils New Cutting-Edge Solutions at Aircraft Interiors Expo 2024

The Bucher Group’s participation at the Aircraft Interiors Expo 2024 (AIX) in Hamburg will showcase a range of cutting-edge products in a newly designed booth. The centrepiece of the display will be a single aisle aircraft fuselage featuring several Bucher products tailored for the commercial aviation market.

Bucher will unveil a fully customized Self-service Counter at AIX which has been developed for longer flights in single-aisle aircraft. Its bespoke design underscores Bucher’s proficiency in addressing individual customer requirements, showcasing the company’s adaptability in delivering tailored solutions. The unveiling of this exclusive feature is set to be a highlight of the event, emphasising Bucher’s commitment to meeting unique client demands.

Another exciting innovation at the booth will be a twin-aisle aircraft center Galley with integrated Roller Blind and Branding Elements. Bucher is proud to unveil the Bucher Roller Blind, a product that merges Swiss technology with innovative design, showcased for the first time within a Galley unit. This tailor-made Galley will be presented with a range of sophisticated features, including a distinctive Branding Element. Over the past few years, Bucher has accumulated significant expertise in the development and integration of Banding Elements.

Other innovations on display will include:

• the 16g Bionic Partition Wall, recognised as the lightest of its kind
• the now market-ready SkyBassinet following recent refinements
• a Class Divider, which provides enhanced privacy for passengers in premium cabin classes

Bucher will also be presenting a number of enhancements to its proven ATS Stretcher for patient transportation. These include an Oxygen Medical Unit with single support in collaboration with its partner Aircraft Completion Engineering.

With a year of successful approvals under its wings, Bucher’s ARCTICart™ is now soaring through test flights with multiple major airlines, with an upcoming announcement planned. AIX 2024 will be the opportunity for visitors to experience the half-size and full-size versions of the ARCTICart™, which is the first in-flight service cart with high-performing thermal insulation. The carts meet the ATLAS standard requirements in the inside and outside and has already received FAA´s TSO Authorization.

Premium folding tables and cabin mechanisms along with the well-known reliable and in-flight proven tray table solutions and high-end supports for tablets in the cabin, will also be on display including the “Olympia”, a Premium Swing-up Food Tray Table. This table mechanism is characterised by its compactness, which is ideal for applications inside the armrest or in side-consoles. At the same time, the table “Olympia” includes high-end features, which are characteristic for Bucher’s VIP tables like force-assisted motion, fall-back prevention or integrated latch.

Beat Burlet, Group CEO of Bucher, says: “These innovative products reflect Bucher’s ambition to develop solutions that enhance the passenger experience, promote airline brands, and reduce carbon emissions. All of Bucher’s products, solutions, and inventions are based on its guiding principle of Sustainable Solutions, and we are focused on continuing to develop and produce lighter and more reliable products that help airlines reduce their carbon emissions during operations.”

Bucher’s products have a long lifecycle due to their aluminum construction and the ability to easily exchange parts, helping airlines to minimizing waste and extending the life of their cabin interiors.

In addition to its commitment to sustainability, Bucher’s is family-owned which allows the company to approach its work with a long-term perspective. This has allowed Bucher to build a reputation for quality and reliability in the aviation industry, and to develop lasting relationships with its customers.
