Aerocare recently refurbished an Embraer Legacy 600 for UK-based air charter firm AirX Group. Working with interiors specialist AeroVisto, Aerocare managed the removal of the interior and reinstallation of a new one. The company also painted the aircraft in a golden livery to match the look and feel of a Boeing BBJ at AeroVisto’s facility in Switzerland.
Working from photos of the BBJ design, Aerocare created a rendering of the golden livery for use on the smaller jet. To match the specific Mankiewicz paint of the original, the team liaised directly with Embraer to gain specialist approval for the required nonstandard paint system. Carrying out the work from its dedicated paint shop, Aerocare managed to deliver a near-perfect replica of the original.
The removal of the existing interior also took place at Aerocare’s MRO facility before its shipment to AeroVisto in Switzerland. Aerocare created the updated interior in partnership with Parisian designer Champeau & Wilde. Once they completed the individual elements, Aerocare and AeroVisto coordinated their redelivery back to the UK for reinstallation in the aircraft.
This Legacy 600 job is one of several successful contracts Aerocare has secured since making a major investment in its facilities, including widening the hangar doors to 22 meters to allow for larger aircraft types.
