INSIDE DOPE is a curated resource of published articles by the top interior professionals across the industry.
Knowledge is Power. No truer statement and no place more true than at the threshold of a new VVIP interior project. Unless you've been through it, it's hard to grasp how complex they can be. And with your money, time and family at stake, you need to be well informed at the starting blocks. INSIDE DOPE is exactly what it sounds like. These are articles, interviews and blog posts - all written by industry insiders and on occasion, owners themselves.
This compendium of articles is arguably the most valuable resource we offer -as each piece speaks from an experiential perspective by real people on specific topics. There are joys and there are pitfalls when it comes to designing and completing your dream aircraft, but the latter require sound up-front counsel in ensuring a smoothe ride.
"Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street; fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live,
what is happening..
Fashion fades, only style remains the same,"

Hopping from one continent to another is infinitely easier than commercial travel. In fact, many have said, it's the ultimate luxury, the ultimate privilege afforded by wealth. Nobody can be in two places at one time, but the next best thing is being on the other side of the globe in a matter of hours aboard your own jet, a jet that only leaves when your ready. A jet that goes only where you want - and a jet whose passenger list has nothing to do with bookings or large airports. It's freedom and we're here to help you discover some of the freedoms perhaps you haven't thought of.
SUPPLIER + More than 500 of the top Cabin Supplier Groups around the globe - in 47 categories
This roster is where we started. Even before Jet Cabin Freshbook was a magazine, we published this critical resource listing of the top cabin supplier groups - worldwide.. Other than the main page of the magazine, this is still the most visited page. The roster is broken into two primary sections: Design & Technical referring to aesthetically oriented suppliers and behind the scenes suppliers - respectively. Collectively the listing contains over 530 suppliers in 47 separate categories (e.g. Carpets, Fabrics, Plating, IFE/CMS, Lighting etc.). SUPPLIER + is globally recognized as the most comprehensive listing of aircraft interior cabin suppliers in the industry and is often utilized but not only industry professionals such as completion centers and designers - but is commonly used as a resource by Owner / Operators & Private Fligh Departments in sourcing critical compnents and vendors.
GLOBAL DESIGN ROSTER - a Comprehensive listing of the world's top Aviation Design Studios..
Global Design Roster was compiled over more than a year and was formally added as a permanent section to JCF Magazine in the fall of 2024. In that short time, GDR has already grown to be our most visited page and resource. GDR, like its sister resource SUPPLIER + (below) is considered to be the most comprehensive listing of top-qualified aircraft interior designers & architects in the world..
GDR is not open to any individual or studio and acceptance is governed by strict criteria - ensuring that every individual and studio can be relied upon as exceedingly qualified in both the design and execution phases of complex interior completions. Qualifications are based on an aggregate of reputation, years in business and completed projects.
THE CENTERS The top Interior Completion & Refurb Centers - Worldwide NEW
Interior Completion Centers are without question the backbone of jet cabin interiors. Without their very rare and unique talents & skillsets, private jets, the way we think of them, simply wouldn't exist.. Yet that rarity also translates to scarcity. Long standing high-quality centers are spread out across the globe but often there are backlogs at the top centers.
JCF Magazine has curated a comprehensive list of the very top most qualified centers in the world. Each center is listed according to geography and includes a 150 word synopsis of their capabilities, history, facilities etc. At the base of each listing is a handy "Core Competency" key, letting you know the center's core specialty (e.g. aircraft size, type, peripherals etc.)

Let's face it, owning a private jet is at least partly about privilege. Sure, you worked hard to get there, but there's no arguing that as a jet owner, you represent a tiny fraction of the global population. However that fact alone is worth celebrating! With wealth comes privilege and with privilege comes opportunities . . . opportunities afforded to very few.
At JCF Magazine, we celebrate both privilege and opportunity. In fact, we take pride in supporting your opportunities with a full deck of lifestyle accouterment that will bring enjoyment and satisfaction parallel to those that got you there in the first place.

There is a rarified air up there at 51,000 ft and at that altitude, one seeks to surround themselves with rarified things, exquisite, wonderful things that are afforded only to those of means. Maybe you parents or you grandparents never had such means - but does that mean you shouldn't? Of course not. It means just the opposite. Looking the part is part of the fun and part of that fun, is finding the treasures out there that await your discovery. JCF Magazine's Lifestyle sector will present you with thing's you've never thought of . . .things that were conceived and created only for the few. Excitement comes in many forms, but one of them is the one that is granted only to those with both the time and the means to find the special things in this world - and hold them, if only for a while.

JCF Magazine is proud to announce our newest fully dedicated department, and it's all about you. In addition to being one of only two magazines in the world entirely dedicated to jet cabin interiors, we're also all about the people that ultimately own, operate and occupy those posh cabins. So how can we help? Well, a number of ways and we're excited to kick it off. Over our remaining issues of 2025, we will be building out a robust array of vital information, services, articles, resources, luxury shopping and more.
Have a look below at each area, some already available and others to look forward to over the the coming months.
With privilege comes freedom, and what form of freedom is better than TRAVEL; travel to exotic locales, special events and excursions that uncover things rarely seen. How about a seat on the Mon Corniché the for Monaco Grand Prix, or perhaps an exclusive box at the World Cup - each planned exclusively for you and your family with literally every detail looked after.
But maybe it's not a crowded event you're after. Maybe it's a totally private bungalow in the Maldives at the threshold of the Indian Ocean. Or maybe it's Tioman Island lying off the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, in the South China Sea. Whatever itch your trying to scratch, our boutique luxury travel partners are here to help you discover it.
