ExecuJet MRO Services Australia has completed its first 20-year maintenance check on a Global Express, the heaviest airframe check possible for the Bombardier business jet, the company said today. The extensive work involved removing the cabin interior to allow access to areas of the fuselage that required inspecting and testing. All three sets of landing gear were also overhauled.
ExecuJet made the most of the downtime by upgrading the inflight entertainment system with Honeywell’s Ovation Select cabin management system and installing USB-C outlets in the cabin.
“With more Global Express aircraft coming due for this check in the coming years, we are well positioned as we have the experience and attention to detail,” said Grant Ingall, ExecuJet’s regional v-p for Australasia.
ExecuJet MRO Services has operated in Australia for more than two decades. Besides Melbourne, it also has heavy maintenance facilities in Perth and Sydney.
