Bucher brings extensive range of cabin solutions to Hamburg
This is a special feature from the April 2026 AIX Hamburg issue of PAX Tech, on page 34.
A Bucher single-aisle forward galley
Bucher Group is gearing up to showcase its cutting-edge cabin solutions at Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) 2026 in Hamburg, with a focus on design & branding elements. The supplier’s exhibit features a single-aisle aircraft fuselage highlighting new developments for the narrowbody market. The narrowbody cabin is fast becoming aviation’s most competitive design area, Bucher tells PAX Tech.
With airlines demanding greater efficiency and passenger appeal in equal measure, the Bucher Group is responding with a new generation of interior solutions tailored to the evolving single-aisle market.
To demonstrate this, Bucher’s AIX exhibit will feature a single-aisle fuselage. Inside, visitors can explore the Bucher G1B Galley for the A320 Family. The G1B Galley complies with CS 25.795 requirements, ensuring full flight deck security against cockpit intrusion and penetration.
The G1B shown at AIX 2026 is a pre-qualification prototype designed to meet specific airline requirements in collaboration with Airbus. Bucher tells PAX Tech it is proud to serve as a Tier 1 supplier for client- specific, highly customized monuments and has been selected to provide SFE Galleys and Stowages for the A320 Family. Bucher’s scope exclusively covers out-of-catalog SFE monuments.
A key innovation displayed is the IFE Drop Down Mechanism, engineered by Bucher. This lightweight, compact monitor deploys smoothly, offering controlled tilt and pivot for optimal viewing, with a secure button-release for reliable locking, all with minimal installation space. Other features include the Window Cabin Partition, integrated into the A320 fuselage to optimize visibility for cabin crew line- and enhance branding opportunities. A standalone monument within the booth is the Door 2 Galley, developed for SWISS, showcasing craftsmanship with customized features for a premium, serene environment as part of the “Silent Luxury” concept.

Bucher will also showcase its medical solutions, including the ATS Stretcher equipped with ACE’s Oxygen Medical Unit, as part of its commitment to safety and operational efficiency. The ARCTICart™ returns to AIX 2026 in half and full-size versions. An inflight service cart with thermal insulation, Bucher tells PAX Tech that it meets ATLAS standards and is FAA TSO certified.
A central focus of this year’s exhibit is Bucher’s expertise in design & branding elements, demonstrating the company’s ability to deliver bespoke cabin solutions for both new installations and retrofit projects. Bucher invites attendees to discover these innovations firsthand at booth 5D60, Hall B5.
