Cabin Readiness Check
Cabin presented, operational and ready to receive passengers

CARION delivers Cabin Readiness services focused on presenting a correctly prepared cabin, operationally ready for boarding. We conduct a visual verification of catering, amenities, seats and essential elements per the operator's briefing, coordinating with the FBO and crew where applicable.

The objective is to confirm a ready-to-board cabin within the actual operational window, with minimal operational footprint and without affecting the departure sequence.

Operational differentiation

Cabin Readiness is verification and preparation. It does not replace Turnaround Cabin Cleaning or Interior Detailing.

Non-interference principle

Does not include maintenance, repairs, modifications or intervention in aircraft technical systems.
