Late one Friday evening recently, Swiss maintenance provider Nomad Technics received an AOG call from a customer that their Global 6000 was in a non-flyable condition. The Nomad team arrived at Zurich airport just two hours later from its facility in Basel, located the fault and re-set the electric system. After two hours of work the aircraft was handed over to the client at midnight, ready for an early six o'clock Saturday morning departure.

“We are proud that we have completed the AOG event on the Bombardier Global 6000 jet with an extremely short reaction time on Friday night,” says Nomad Aviation executive chairman Heinz Koehli.

“Thanks to the flexibility of the engineers and the short communication channels we could rectify the defect to the full satisfaction of the customer. This enabled him to use his aircraft as planned,” adds Nomad Technics VP and general manager Roman Hug.

Nomad Technics, the EASA Part-145 approved maintenance division of Nomad Aviation, provides maintenance inspection and non-routine repair work on Challenger 600 and 850 series, Global XRS, Global 5000, Global 6000, Legacy 600 and 650 and Cessna C525 series aircraft. The company occupies its own 7,400 sqm hangar together with 7,000 sqm of additional ramp space at the International EuroAirport in Basel, Switzerland, where it also offers hangarage services for aircraft up to the size of the Boeing 737 series and the Airbus A320 family.
