Amac Aerospace Switzerland signed a heavy-base-maintenance contract for a head-of-state Boeing 737-700. When the aircraft is in for its heavy-base-maintenance check, the company will perform various cockpit updates and cabin modifications and install auxiliary center tanks. As part of the process, the full customized VIP cabin will be removed to perform structural inspections. The aircraft will enter the shop in the first quarter.
“For this project we have been in competition with MROs from Europe and the United States. We are proud to have been selected for this project, which will add another BBJ heavy-maintenance input to a long list of projects performed at Amac's facility in Basel, Switzerland,” noted Alexis Ott, the company's senior manager for sales and key accounts.
The MRO also reported the on-time, on-budget return to service of a head-of-state Gulfstream GIV after an intensive maintenance check. The company has also performed an on-site intervention on a GV in Africa and installed a satcom system on an Airbus A340.
