Each monument will be tailored to reflect the individual brand identities and values of the respective airlines. Deliveries are expected to begin in 2027.
 
Nigel McSorley, CEO of ACS UK, commented: “Securing these contracts so soon after reopening our order book is a clear endorsement of the quality, creativity and reliability that ACS UK brings to the market. We’re proud to be partnering with two leading global airlines to deliver bespoke monument solutions that elevate both passenger and crew experience while reflecting the unique character of each brand. It’s an exciting milestone for the team and a positive sign of the momentum building across our business and the wider industry.”

The contracts come against a backdrop of rising aircraft production. Last year saw an increase in deliveries from both Boeing and Airbus compared with 2024, and further production growth is forecast across the major OEMs for 2026. This trend is a positive signal for the wider aviation sector and of the renewed demand for high-quality cabin interior solutions from suppliers such as ACS UK.
