This is a special feature from PAX Tech's May 2024 AIX issue, on page 20.
Visit Bucher Leichtbau AG at booth 5D60 at AIX
The Bucher Group has a fresh lineup of products ready to be showcased in its newly designed booth in Hamburg this month. The highlight of the presentation will be a single-aisle aircraft fuselage featuring various Bucher products tailored for this market segment.
The range of products on display will include the 16G Bionic Partition Wall, recognized as the lightest of its kind, and the market-ready SkyBassinet, which recently underwent refinements. The focus for The Bucher Group at this year’s Expo is on a fully customized self-service counter, developed for long-haul flights in single-aisle aircraft. The bespoke design underscores Bucher’s proficiency in addressing individual customer requirements, the company tells PAX Tech.
Bucher’s product lineup at AIX will also feature a Class Divider to deliver enhanced privacy to passengers in premium cabin classes. The company will also be presenting enhancements to its proven ATS Stretcher for patient transportation, including an Oxygen Medical Unit with single support, in collaboration with its partner, Aircraft Completion Engineering. Also on display at Bucher’s booth will be a twin-aisle aircraft centre galley with integrated Roller Blind and branding elements.
“Bucher is proud to unveil the Bucher Roller Blind, a product that merges Swiss technology with innovative design, showcased for the first time within a galley unit,” the company says. “This tailor-made galley will be presented with a range of sophisticated features, including a distinctive branding element.”

Following a year of successful approvals, The Bucher Group’s ARCTICartTM is taking to the sky on test flights with multiple airlines.
“Could the reveal of a launch customer be on the horizon? Stay tuned for an upcoming announcement that promises to captivate and intrigue,” Bucher teases.
At AIX, visitors to Bucher’s booth will have the opportunity to experience the half and full size versions of theARCTICart, the first inflight service cart with high-performing thermal insulation.
“Our carts meet the ATLAS standard requirements on the inside and outside and have already received FAA ́s TSO Authorization,” the company says.
Bucher will also be displaying the “Olympia” table, a premium swing-up food tray table. This compact table mechanism is ideal for applications inside the armrest or inside consoles. It includes high-end features, which are characteristic of Bucher’s VIP tables such as force-assisted motion, fall-back prevention or integrated latch.
Sustainable solutions
All of Bucher’s products, solutions and innovations are based on its guiding principle of sustainable solutions. The company continues to develop and produce lighter and more reliable products that help airlines reduce carbon emissions during operations. These products have a long lifecycle due to the aluminum construction and the ability to exchange parts easily.
“This ensures that airlines are able to reduce the carbon footprint by minimizing waste and extending the life of the cabin interiors,” Bucher says.
The Bucher Group invites AIX attendees to see these innovative products for themselves and engage in discussions with the company’s specialists at booth 5D60 in hall B5.
