“We are very confident that our knowhow and experience,together with the ‘Made in Italy’ signature, can be successful inthe very demanding market of the Middle East. We are nownegotiating two projects, one refurbishment and onereconfiguration for customers in the region,” he said.

Protecting his client’s identities, Bulletti would only disclosethat Delta Interior has worked with a large maintenance centrein the region, as well with aircraft owners, both chartercompanies and privates.

With extensive experience in servicing hundreds of aircraftin a wide range of models, Delta Interior Design boasts that itcan “respond to even the most challenging aesthetic tastes andfunctional needs with creativity at the highest standards”.

The outcome is absolutely personal, and rigorously styled as‘Made in Italy’ by the predominantly Italian design team.

Being so close to one of the world’s fashion capitals, DeltaInterior Design works in collaboration with the DesignInstitute of Milan, which provides the source of its juniordesigners.

“These young professionals have bright, clean minds thatcan successfully find original solutions for our customers,” saidBulletti. “Thanks to our experience, we are able to fulfil themost stringent customer requirements providing solutions thatsometimes go beyond customer expectations in terms ofdesign, weight and maintainability, with eyes open to cost andtime readability,” he added.

Customer-selectedAlthough the company has its own in-house designers, it is alsohappy to work with customer-selected designers or architects.

“Work can be carried out in our facilities or onsite,depending on work scope and customer requirements,”Bulletti explained. “We have already provided various servicesand work outside Europe.”

Whether customers are seeking a suitable interior tohighlight and exploit the characteristics and performance ofbrand-new or existing aircraft/helicopters, Delta InteriorDesign’s view is that there is no limit to imagination. “Just let itfly. We’ll make dreams become real,” the company promises.

One of Delta Interior Design’s most unusual customerrequests came in 2007. “We designed and realised a ceiling of ahelicopter full of stars,” said Bulletti.

So far the company has been active within the aviationindustry in Europe and in Asia, but it is now looking atextending its horizon towards newer markets and attended therecent AIME/MRO Middle East event in Dubai in January.

“We are looking forward to working with Middle Eastcustomers and getting some challenging requests to fulfil,” saidBulletti.
