EXQUISITE CABIN DESIGN FROM THE AIR TO THE WATER
FLEXJET & FERRETTI GROUP UNVEIL THE RIVA VOLARE PRIVATE JET & HELICOPTER INTERIOR
Flexjet, a global leader in private aviation, and luxury yacht leader Ferretti Group, have unveiled their highly anticipated, design collaboration Riva Volare- a unique cabin design for Flexjet’ s aircraft interiors, inspired by the iconic Riva motoryachts.
This bespoke design project is a lavish realisation of the official partnership formed in May 2024 between the two luxury leaders, which each share a passion for high performance, exceptional craftsmanship and sleek, bold design.
Part of Flexjet’ s range of customised and boutique-style LXi Cabin Collection™ interiors, Riva Volare is fitted aboard one of the private aviation leader’ s Gulfstream G650 ultra-long-range jets, seating up to 12-15 passengers and capable of flying for up to 14-16 hours, connecting New York and Tokyo, London, Singapore or Milan.
The interior is also presented in two of Flexjet’ s Sikorsky S-76 helicopters, one in Florida and the other featuring in a new helicopter operation based in Milan, serving Italy and the French Riviera. This represents the growth of the company’ s helicopter division into mainland Europe, adding to its existing rotary operations in London, New York and Florida & The Bahamas. The new service area will cater to growing demand from the company’ s existing jet Owners and from new clients for helicopter flights in Italy and the South of France during the summer months, with Ferretti Group clients benefitting from preferential access.
The finished design was revealed on Thursday, June 26 at an official unveiling event at Milano Prime Linate Airport, featuring a static display of the Flexjet Gulfstream G650, Sikorsky S-76 helicopter and a Riva motoryacht, the Aquariva Special. The event took place in the hangar recently built for Flexjet’ s sister company and aircraft management and maintenance provider Sirio, by SEA Prime- the leading Italian and European business and general aviation infrastructure manager, operating under the brand Milano Prime.
The bespoke design scheme is the refined result of a combined vision and months of expert craftsmanship by in-house designers at both brands. Riva Volare features artisanal materials and bold patterns, textures and colours, that draw on the classic
