Floor, wall and overhead bins are one unit. Multiple wall units and flooring are available for you to select the width and length of set that will work best for your scene.

The equipment can be set up as a “One side” cabin or one (1) aisle “Narrow body” (up to 6 coach seats across) cabin. The set comes with a complement of Seats. Set appropriate Set Dressing included with rental.
Production value is added with Service Areas that can be placed in the front, middle or end of any width “Rolling” set.
