F/LIST, the Austrian pioneer in high-quality aircraft cabin interiors, is setting a significant milestone at Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) 2026 (booth 6B62) by officially expanding its production and support capabilities to include corporate helicopters. This means F/LIST now seamlessly supports its customers across corporate helicopters, business and private jets, high-quality cabin solutions for commercial aviation, and private residences. The group is also active in the yacht segment under the F/YACHTING brand, while the joint venture HILITECH expands F/LIST's expertise with innovative lightweight construction and composite technologies.

"Expanding into the helicopter interiors sector is the logical next step for F/LIST," says Michael Müller, Managing Director of F/LIST Aviation. “Many of our customers operate within multiple demanding interior design worlds simultaneously. This addition allows us to support them throughout their entire ecosystem—in the air, on land, or at sea—and deliver the same level of imagination, technological innovation, advanced material technology, and consistent craftsmanship in every space. Customers now have a single point of contact for all their interior acquisition needs.”

Following its debut in commercial aviation at AIX 2025, F/LIST now covers the entire aviation spectrum, supplying high-quality materials for premium airlines, business aircraft, and, as of now, corporate helicopters. The trade show appearance sends a clear message: F/LIST aims to create cohesive, sophisticated cabin experiences for every form of flight.

Furthermore, F/LIST is celebrating the trade show premiere of Lightshifter, the latest transformative development from its in-house innovation hub, F/LAB. Lightshifter transforms wood veneer surfaces and makes integrated lighting technology visible at the touch of a button. This creates unexpected, structured design elements and impressive displays throughout the cabin. When the function is deactivated, the veneer seamlessly returns to its original appearance, without any visible traces of the lighting technology.

“With Lightshifter, we are responding to the growing demand for immersive and adaptable cabin environments,” explains Müller. “The technology allows designers to create striking bulkheads, monuments, or feature walls without compromising on weight, space, or material integrity. This approach is equally suitable for VIP helicopters, business jets, and premium cabins in commercial aviation.”

F/LIST is also presenting its Real Wood Veneer 65/65 technology, the industry’s first fully heat-release compliant wood veneer. Lightweight and fully certified for use in commercial aviation, it conveys the warmth, depth, and sensory quality of real wood. Finished with a natural oil finish based on a low-VOC lacquer, the veneer can be customized to reflect brand identity, origin, or location. The F/LAB Stone Inlay will also be presented, showcasing how real stone can be integrated into lightweight, certified applications for high-end cabins, combining natural elegance with technical performance.

AIX also provides the stage for a new lighting collaboration that reimagines reading lights as high-quality design elements in cabin interiors. The SCHOTT Opal Reading Light series, based on the SCHOTT Opal Terra platform, integrates F/LIST's customizable natural surfaces, including wood and stone, directly into the luminaire housing. Building on F/LIST's expertise in veneers and surface finishing, the concepts can be precisely tailored to seating materials and color schemes, either subtly embedded in the cabin architecture or deliberately used as a striking design accent.

Together, these innovations demonstrate how F/LIST is redefining premium interiors and creating immersive, sustainable, and fully customizable environments that elevate the customer experience at every touchpoint.
