Nomad Technics recently provided AOG support to an operator of a Bombardier Challenger 650 at the International airport of Malaga, Spain.

The company received an AOG call from Bombardier that a customer's Challenger 650 was in a non-flyable condition at Malaga. The aircraft manufacturer dispatched a dedicated ‘Bombardier Mobile Response Team’ Challenger 300 to Basel to fly a technician and tools to Malaga the same evening. Repair work started immediately after landing with the hydraulic leak on the landing gear located. Spare parts were ordered the following morning. A second mechanic arrived in Malaga from Switzerland with special tools and test equipment that afternoon to further proceed with the repair. After successful tests the aircraft could return to service and was handed over to the satisfied customer by theevening.

“We are proud that we have completed the AOG event on the Challenger 650 with an extremely short reaction time during one weekend,” says VP and general manager Roman Hug.

“Thanks to the flexibility of the engineers and the short communication channels we could rectify the defect to the full satisfaction of the customer,” adds executive chairman Heinz Koehli.
