Aircraft interiors specialist, ACS UK, has secured two new contracts with tier-one global airlines, just months after reopening its order book having cleared its delivery backlog.
The deals, for the design and manufacture of bespoke monuments for widebody aircraft, will involve each monument being customised to reflect the individual brand identities and values of the respective (as-yet unnamed) airlines. Deliveries of the monuments are expected to begin in 2027.
ACS UK says the contracts demonstrate there is strong market demand for its products and services. As 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,” he added.
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 aircraft cabin interior products and services.
While there have been some recent delivery issues in the cabin supply chain, ACS UK (the UK arm of AVIC Cabin Systems) has been investing in its UK-based engineering and manufacturing facilities, and working closely with OEMs and airlines to expand its offerable portfolio. The company says these strategies have put the is a strong position to support the expected ramp-up in aircraft deliveries.
ACS UK also recently confirmed its participation at Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) 2026 in Hamburg this April. The company notes that demand for meetings with customers and partners at the show is already high, further reflecting the market’s renewed confidence and interest in ACS UK’s capabilities. ACS UK will be exhibiting at Stand 7A01.
