New maintenance contracts for AMAC Aerospace

AMAC Aerospace is starting the first quarter of 2017 with several new maintenance programmes on privately-owned Boeing BBJ and Airbus A319 aircraft.

A cabin oxygen system will be replaced from a liquid to a chemical system in conjunction with an annual maintenance check on a BBJ 1 aircraft. Another annual maintenance check which includes A, B1 and B2 checks has been performed by AMAC on a BBJ 2 aircraft in January, 2017. AMAC has also been appointed by an existing customer to carry out C1, C2 and C4 checks along with a landing gear overhaul on a privately-owned BBJ 2 aircraft under consideration of a reduced ground time in order to minimize the operational costs. In addition, a new customer of AMAC Aerospace brought his BBJ 3 aircraft to undergo a C1 check to the facility in Basel, Switzerland.

An Asian client has selected AMAC to perform a C1 check, due Service Bulletins as well as cabin interior work on its A319 aircraft. The aircraft entered AMAC's hangar doors at the end of January 2017 and all work will be performed by AMAC's experienced Airbus team within a reduced ground time. Two further A319 aircraft have already entered the facility for annual inspections. Due to AMAC's excellent reputation within the private aviation market, AMAC is also proud to announce that a new customer has selected the facility for a C-Check on its A319.

“We are delighted to start 2017 with filled hangars and are thankful that our highest quality standards and tailored maintenance services are appreciated by our esteemed customers as well as recognized by new customers from all regions worldwide.” said Mr. Mauro Grossi, group chief financial officer, AMAC Aerospace.

“Seeing a variety of different business jets entering again or even entering for the first time our facility in Basel, shows that all our efforts that we have performed over the last 10 years are paying off, and we, as a privately-owned company, have achieved a high standing reputation and market position.” added Mr. Bernd Schramm, group chief operating officer, AMAC Aerospace.

AMAC Aerospace is as well pleased to announce that it has signed several maintenance agreements extending its partnership with existing and new aircraft owners and operators. One maintenance contract has been awarded to AMAC to perform a heavy C-Check package in conjunction with cabin works and a landing gear overhaul on an Airbus A320 aircraft.

A new operator from China has selected the MRO, AMAC Aerospace in Basel, Switzerland for a maintenance programme along with minor cabin modifications on his Boeing BBJ 1 aircraft. “We are delighted that our expertise is well known and appreciated by our Asian clients and we will further strengthen our position in the Chinese market.” said Mr. Alexis Ott, senior manager sales and key account, AMAC Aerospace.

Another maintenance input on a BBJ 1 will be performed by AMAC. The maintenance contract which was signed with a new European operator includes a C-Check package with some major aircraft system rectifications to be carried out by AMAC's engineering department. Following a heavy maintenance check on a B737 Classic aircraft, AMAC's skilled experts will also perform structural repair work on the fuselage of the B737 Classic. This structural repair work will be carried out in a close partnership with Boeing.
