Nomad Completes Milestone Mx Check on Global 5000

Nomad Technics recently completed its first 120-month inspection on a Bombardier Global 5000, which will expand the Basel, Switzerland-based MRO provider’s business opportunities.

The inspection included a thorough examination of the Global’s airframe. After removing the cabin interior, Nomad technicians found a “significant amount” of corrosion that had to be repaired, the company reported. Several service bulletins were also completed on the aircraft, as was a complete refurbishment of the cabin. The refurbishment included new carpet, seat reupholstery, and soft material replacement. Additionally, some exterior paint repairs were made.

“The successful completion of this first 120-month inspection is a significant milestone for Nomad Technics and will enable us to enhance our capabilities to provide this type of maintenance services on a variety of other aircraft types,” said Nomad Technics director of maintenance Christophe Haeffelin.

Based at International EuroAirport in Basel, Nomad Technics operates from a 5,100-sq-m (54,895-sq-ft) hangar with 6,800 sq m (73,194 sq ft) of ramp space. The MRO is the maintenance division of Zurich-based Nomad Aviation, a charter operator and aircraft management provider.
