Press Release: ABC International delivers cabin branding to LATAM

Aviation Business Consultant International has played a key role in enhancing the interiors of LATAM Airlines’ Chilean flag carrier by designing and manufacturing the branding elements for the Premium Business and Economy class cabins of Boeing 787-8 and Boeing 787-9 twinjets.

After a previous project in 2016 involving the creation of the ‘Welcome’ panel for the 787 cabin designed by PriestmanGoode, ABC International was chosen by LATAM to brand the 787 cabins, with a total of 28 logos requested.

The Italian cabin branding specialists were selected to develop the design and airworthiness certification of two types of crests, both made with metal. Branding in Economy is characterized by the distinctive indigo and coral colours of the LATAM brand, whilst branding in Premium Business features a unique metal finished effect.

Olindo Spatola, Vice President of Engineering and HDO at ABC International, stated: “When we started working on the design, our proposals were finalized to ease the installation and the airworthiness of both logos. Our main focus was to create branding elements suitable for onboard installation, despite the reduced size of some components, while preserving the characteristic three-dimensional wavey effect of the LATAM brand.”

The logos’ installation on LATAM aircraft is the result of a collaboration between both Boeing Global Services (BGS) and ABC International engineers, who provided technical drawings and specifications necessary for the cabin branding installation and final certification by BGS.

Regarding the importance of collaborations and partnerships, ABC International CEO Rodolfo Baldascino remarked: “Cabin branding requirements have become increasingly complex in recent years. Thanks to the synergy with other companies and a sophisticated supply chain management, ABC International can deal with this complexity to create high quality products suitable for flight.”

ABC International is also engaged in a new cabin branding project for LATAM.
