The Hindu

In Jetliner Cabins, Jennifer includes beautiful illustrations of cabin interiors reminiscent of James Bond cocktail bars, with the promise that this sort of luxury might, one day very soon, be available to all travellers; yet, practical, as well, she also provides a commercial perspective of the aviation business in the past and present, and points to its future — rightly so by one who has been a key player in the Air Transport industry for 30 years.

Excellent insight into the world of commercial aviation
Jennifer Clay, an airline industry insider, with a vast amount of experience in airliner interior design, has recently updated her book. This book is an amazingly interesting resource covering the past (Concorde, Eastern, Braniff, Pan Am, etc.), the present (a comprehensive survey of U.S. and international airlines), and the future (Airbus A380, Boeing B787 Dreamliner, Bombardier C-Series, and the new category of Embraer Very Light Jets). You'll read about everything from safety, seat design, and fabric selection to meal service, accessibility and maintenance in first-, business- and economy-class cabins. It also has really cool cabin layout diagrams.
Attention all you airline geeks: this one's for you. This is the perfect gift for that travel aficionado in your life. And it's the perfect stocking stuffer for that on-the-same-wavelength nephew who happens to be in love with the airline industry.

International Aviation Womens Association

Jetliner Cabins is a unique resource covering the past (Concorde, Eastern Airlines, and Braniff International), the present (a comprehensive survey of U.S. and international airlines), and the future (Airbus A380, Boeing B787 Dreamliner, Bombardier CSeries, and the new category of Embraer Very Light Jets). In the past 25 years, airlines have spent fortunes on interior upgrade programs – to comply with escalating regulatory requirements, to address individual customer needs and to differentiate themselves from their competitors. Readers will find in the 16 chapters information about everything from safety, seat design, and fabric selection to meal service, accessibility and maintenance in first-, business- and economy-class cabins.

Air Transport World

Airliner World

The softback version of this insider's guide to aircraft interiors, first published in hardback in 2003, is an interesting read. Heavily illustrated with both black and white and colour photographs, it studies the development of the aviation business from the perspective of the aircraft cabin. A ‘must read' for design buffs, this book, charting the past, present and future of commercial aircraft interior design, will also be popular with enthusiasts and regular travellers.

Aviation for Women

A 30-year career in air transportation management left author Jennifer Coutts Clay with some distinct opinions about what works and does not work inside an airliner. In Jetliner Cabins Clay treats us to a historical perspective of aircraft interior design, accompanied by more than 350 color visuals of airline interiors. The book was recently updated to include the next generation of aircraft, some of which have not yet even entered into production. You won't find a more comprehensive look at aircraft interiors anywhere else. Amy Laboda

British Airways News
