“Money does not buy elegance. You can take an inexpensive sheath, add a pretty scarf, gray shoes, and a wonderful bag and it will always be elegant.”

MAV Cabin Services focuses on hospitality service enhancement and cabin comfort optimization in the private aviation sector.
Our proposition is founded on two principles: Elegance does not have to be expensive and Comfort is the ultimate Luxury.
We design bespoke and cost-minded solutions for aircraft cabin functionality aiming to elevate owners’ and guests’ travel experiences. We implement systems that respond consistently to the needs of upscale charter exposure. Additionally, we assist with cabin attendant screening and training.
Mariane Vergassola, MAV Cabin Services’ founder and CEO who was born on the French Riviera has extensive experience in the luxury hospitality industry. Before embracing private aviation a decade ago, she enjoyed working in luxury hotels such as the Four Seasons George V-Paris, Claridge’s- London, The Carlyle- NYC, and the Rosewood Hotel Mayakoba in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. Her exposure to international high-profile guests led her to develop strong abilities in communication in multiple languages, also in understanding the needs and expectations of a versatile and cosmopolitan high-profile clientele. Simultaneously, she completed a two year-program at Parsons School of Design-The New School in New York, and obtained her certificate in Interior Design for Commercial and Residential developments.
“When I first started flying as a cabin attendant in private aviation, after spending 15 years working in luxury hotels all over the world, I realized there was a large gap between the two industries with regards to the service and the comfort brought to the client. There was a lack of refinement in cabin attendant grooming and work etiquette as well. After a few years in the industry, I was approached by a recognized aviation company to look after the cabin services department. Needless to say, it was hard work to find quality people among cabin attendants, and this led me to create my own signature vetting process, followed by a detailed-oriented in-house training program. I also realized that many aircraft had functionality flaws in their outfitting; Often, the galley would not be operational for service and the cabin would lack organization and bespoke attention to the travelers I ought to use my savoir-faire to offer solutions to respond to most elevated and personalized experience. This is how MAV Cabin Services was created.” Mariane Vergassola
