L-3's platform integration arm (chalet A9-14) has won its second contract to covert a Boeing 747-8 to VVIP configuration.
But as to the identity of the "head-of-state customer", the company is staying tight-lipped.
What it has disclosed is that the work will be carried out at L-3's completions centre in Waco, Texas, and span an in-flight entertainment system, lighting and sound elimination and dampening technologies - plus painting and "work on other major aircraft systems".
The provider has delivered some 50 widebody conversions, and its work spans a host of narrowbody and widebody types, including the Boeing 737. 757, 767, 777 and MD-11 and the Airbus A310 and A340.
It is a Boeing-recognised completions centre for widebody and business jets.
On top of interior completions, it offers VVIP customers an elevator system - which can operate between the cargo deck and main deck in flight - and its ATCS missile warning system.
