Basel, Switzerland-based Nomad Technics, the Part 145 maintenance division of business jet operator Nomad Aviation, has recently completed its first 120-month inspection on a Bombardier Global 5000 aircraft.

During the maintenance event, the largest to be undertaken on a Global 5000, there was a thorough examination of the airframe that, after the complete removal of the cabin's interior, generated a significant amount of corrosion findings and repairs. During the maintenance time several Service Bulletins (SBs) were executed while the cabin interior underwent a complete refurbishment, including carpet change, seat re-upholstery and soft material replacement. Some exterior paint repairs were done as well.

"The successful completion of this first 120-month inspection is a significant milestone for Nomad Technics and will enable us to enhance our capabilities to provide this type of maintenance services on a variety of other aircraft types,” says maintenance director Christophe Haeffelin.

Director of sales and project management Estelle Thorin adds: "Being able to offer this demanding work opens up new markets for Nomad Technics. We are looking forward to welcoming owners and operators of Bombardier aircraft at our Basel, Switzerland facility to demonstrate our highly skilled VVIP aircraft maintenance and bespoke aviation services.”
