As ever, AMAC Aerospace has plenty to report as we enter the winter season. It has been working on a Gulfstream IV, a Global 6000, an Airbus ACJ319, another Global 6000, a Global 5000 and two BBJs.
A Boeing BBJ737 will be equipped with an in-flight entertainment system at AMAC Aerospace in Basel, Switzerland.

AMAC Aerospace, the Swiss VIP completions and maintenance specialist based in Basel, has been awarded several new maintenance projects. A privately-owned Gulfstream IV will undergo multiple C-checks and a minor update of the interior cabin while on a privately-owned Bombardier Global 6000, a Ka-band system will be installed.

AMAC recently welcomed a Gulfstream IV in Basel. The privately-owned aircraft will undergo multiple C-checks. Furthermore, AMAC's craftsmen will refurbish the interior cabin. Soft materials will be exchanged and partial wood work will be carried out. An Airbus ACJ319 arrived early November. The privately-owned aircraft will undergo a pre-purchase inspection.

A Bombardier Global 6000 has also entered AMAC's hangar for a Ka-band installation, which will allow seamless connectivity on board. The customer demanded some additional minor cabin work, which AMAC will carry out simultaneously on the privately-owned aircraft. A Global 5000 has also arrived in Basel to undergo a 15- and 30-month inspection.

Additionally AMAC Aerospace has been awarded two new projects on Boeing BBJ aircraft. On the first Boeing B737-NG, AMAC's avionics team will install an in-flight-entertainment system on the aircraft. The second Boeing BBJ737 will undergo base maintenance including a 1A-, 2A- and 6A-check, having arrived in mid November.
