Flexjet & Ferretti Group unveil the Riva Volare private jet & helicopter interior

Milan, June 27, 2025 – Flexjet, a global leader in private aviation, and luxury yacht leader Ferretti Group, have unveiled their highly anticipated, design collaboration Riva Volare – a unique cabin design for Flexjet’s aircraft interiors, inspired by the iconic Riva motoryachts.

This bespoke design project is a lavish realisation of the official partnership formed in May 2024 between the two luxury leaders, which each share a passion for high performance, exceptional craftsmanship and sleek, bold design.

Part of Flexjet’s range of customised and boutique-style LXi Cabin Collection™ interiors, Riva Volare is fitted aboard one of the private aviation leader’s Gulfstream G650 ultra-long-range jets, seating up to 12-15 passengers and capable of flying for up to 14-16 hours, connecting New York and Tokyo, London, Singapore or Milan.

The interior is also presented in two of Flexjet’s Sikorsky S-76 helicopters, one in Florida and the other featuring in a new helicopter operation based in Milan, serving Italy and the French Riviera. This represents the growth of the company’s helicopter division into mainland Europe, adding to its existing rotary operations in London, New York and Florida & The Bahamas. The new service area will cater to growing demand from the company’s existing jet Owners and from new clients for helicopter flights in Italy and the South of France during the summer months, with Ferretti Group clients benefitting from preferential access.

The finished design was revealed on Thursday, June 26 at an official unveiling event at Milano Prime Linate Airport, featuring a static display of the Flexjet Gulfstream G650, Sikorsky S-76 helicopter and a Riva motoryacht, the Aquariva Special. The event took place in the hangar recently built for Flexjet’s sister company and aircraft management and maintenance provider Sirio, by SEA Prime – the leading Italian and European business and general aviation infrastructure manager, operating under the brand Milano Prime.

The bespoke design scheme is the refined result of a combined vision and months of expert craftsmanship by in-house designers at both brands. Riva Volare features artisanal materials and bold patterns, textures and colours, that draw on the classic silhouettes and recognisable design elements of the beloved Riva motoryachts, blending details from the iconic 1960s Aquarama with the contemporary elegance of the Aquariva.

Each element of the Riva Volare design – from the colour palette to the tactile materials – has been thoughtfully curated to evoke timeless Riva cues, featuring contrasts between light and dark, colour detailing, and luxurious textures of leathers and metals. A curated selection of Riva glass, china, and silverware will feature in the onboard hospitality experience on the Gulfstream G650, expertly presented by Flexjet’s Red Label Academy trained cabin servers.

During their immersive Riva-inspired journey, Flexjet passengers will also enjoy:
• soft, handstitched leather seating, piped with Riva’s signature aquamarine colour and intricately embroidered with Riva logos, icon of yachting and elegance.
• high-gloss, striped-wood veneer panelling – synonymous with the iconic Riva interiors.
• pop-up kibitzer social seating in the Gulfstream G650 comprising a classic nautical stripe design in blue and white.
• accent areas featuring the Riva aquamarine and deep blue ‘Blu Sera’ colours, paired with trademark polished metallic trims.
• a striking silken carpet, inspired by the sleek motion of a Riva motoryacht cutting through water.
