The first of several VistaJet MRO projects has been completed by RUAG MRO International. Its Challenger 850 underwent aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), component MRO, aircraft painting and the integration of both an avionics ADS-B Out upgrade as well as a full cabin refurbishment. VistaJet chose to optimise a scheduled MRO event on the aircraft to save on both time and costs.

The company has now delivered a second Challenger 850 to RUAG. “Every customer’s experience with RUAG must reflect that we have truly understood their priorities and that we are dedicated to contributing to their success, by ensuring their aircraft are available for scheduled operations,” says RUAG MRO International senior vice president business jets Volker Wallrodt. “Meeting a customer’s individual requirements, satisfying their expectations and enabling their business model to remain as efficient as possible, are all fundamental to our role as support provider.”
