Jet Aviation completes first 96 month inspection on Lineage
Jet Aviation Singapore has completed the first 96-month inspection on a Lineage 1000 in the Asia Pacific region, and has expanded its capability for unscheduled maintenance by restructuring its AOG team.
The 96-month inspection was completed in conjunction with a major pylon modification and a controller pilot data link communications system upgrade.

Seletar airport-based Jet Aviation Singapore has announced the completion of the region's first 96 month inspection on an Embraer Lineage 1000. The 96 month inspection was completed in conjunction with a major pylon modification and a Controller Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) system upgrade. Both the service bulletin modification and the upgrade are also regional firsts.

“We continuously strive to improve our capabilities by investing in new technologies and the ongoing training of our employees,” says VP regional operations Asia and Singapore MRO and FBO facility general manager Louis Leong. “Our team of engineers in Singapore worked closely with Embraer to support this heavy maintenance project on behalf of our mutual customer's operational requirements. We have a long and trusted working relationship with Embraer, which this inaugural accomplishment highlights.”

Senior vice president, regional operations Asia Pacific Joe Reckling adds: “Successfully completing three simultaneous regional firsts is a great credit to the team. This achievement truly demonstrates their outstanding capabilities and unwavering commitment to the highest standards.”

The company is also extending its AOG support to the broadest practical physical range in order to help recover AOG aircraft for customers as quickly as possible. It has supported more than 100 AOG aircraft since 2018 in areas as far as Tahiti, the UK and the US. Traditionally, Singapore’s AOG requests originate in countries within Asia, but the team increasingly supports AOG aircraft in locations outside its region since it starting operating within the company's global AOG network.

“Our AOG support outreach capabilities extend far beyond Asia,” says Leong. “As part of our uncompromising drive to deliver premium customer service when and where needed, we have re-structured our global AOG support team to ensure the fasted recovery times possible. Our team of competent and experienced engineers is always ready to support our customers travel and operational requirements.”
