In August 2007, Astraeus approached us with a request to develop a passenger/cargo ‘combi’ cabin configuration for one of their Boeing 757 aircraft, which was to be leased to the rock group ‘Iron Maiden’ for their 2008 World Tour.
This new cabin configuration was to provide a 74 seat passenger layout (including 20 business class seats) in the forward cabin, and a cargo compartment in the aft cabin, and was to be designed for installation on a ‘quick change’ basis to re-role the aircraft as required for operational commitments.
