Amac Aerospace (Booth P640) has been busy over the past several months across its business aviation service portfolio. Just this month, Swiss-based Amac completed a project involving a privately owned Boeing 737-800 that included a heavy base-maintenance check and several cabin modifications. 
  
Amac installed a tail-mounted exterior camera and swapped out the Boeing’s HD monitors with 4k ultra-high-definition (UHD) screens. The work also included installing a 4k-capable flight information system in the cabin.
  
In keeping with Amac’s strategy of co-scheduling interior updates and modifications with regular scheduled maintenance, the cabin work was completed in tandem with the heavy base maintenance event. That meant less down time and lower cost for the customer.
  
Meanwhile, Amac’s consultancy expertise helped an unnamed Middle East commercial operator launch service earlier this year. The group provided maintenance on the company’s five business jets, including two Gulfstreams and a trio of Airbus ACJs.
  
Amac has two locations in Switzerland–its main service center in Basel and an aircraft management office in Zurich. It also has a base in Istanbul, Turkey, and a regional sales office in Beirut, Lebanon. The company’s Dassault Falcon authorized service center in Istanbul recently completed the first Falcon 2000 avionics upgrade to EASy II configuration.
