The linings in the aircraft were recovered with the color milkweed on the walls and ceiling. The lower sidewalls, windows plastics, and headlining panels were all wrapped in milkweed vinyl. Each of the cabin windows has a curtain that splits each side of the window. These curtains were replaced with new curtains in a fabric known as papyrus.

The sidewalls feature two fold-out tray tables between the club class seating. The tray tables are wrapped in a black carbon fiber decorative film. The bulkhead which divides the cockpit from the main cabin is also wrapped with a carbon fibre finish. The floor coverings in the aircraft are genflor ash carpet. The floor coverings include the floor areas of the cabin as well as up under the base of the sidewalls.

The entrance door at the rear of the aircraft is wrapped in white vinyl (102) with black vinyl behind the folding steps. The steps have a black non-slip material on the surface of the step. The door surround has a draught excluder which is covered in white vinyl (102).

The seating in this aircraft comprised 6 passenger seats in the rear of the aircraft. The dress covers were designed using regal blue leather with white stitching. The center inserts of the covers were white leather (ADI-1021) which has been quilted in the diamond quilting pattern (SA001). This color scheme is also featured on the bulkhead at the rear of the cabin with white on the two outer sides and the regal blue through the center.

The two crew seats in the cockpit had replacement sheepskin seat covers fitted. The sheepskin colour was oxford grey and the borders were in the regal blue leather. The cockpit glare shield eyebrow was rewrapped in black UV vinyl and the forward panels were rewrapped in mouse hair black fabric.
