JCB Aero looks to maintain MRO momentum
JCB is proud to see such a remarkable number of prestigious aircraft passing through its facilities. It reflects the trust customers place in its teams and capabilities. Several ACJs have been serviced recently.
The hangar has been full of widebody jets.

JCB Aero is experiencing high demand for its MRO services, and the first months of 2026 have started with all three slots in the hangar full. These projects have included maintenance, combined with modifications and refurbishments.

One Airbus ACJ318 underwent a C2 check and minor modifications. The skillets and toaster were removed from the galley, and the registration number was repainted.

Two Airbus ACJ319 aircraft underwent maintenance checks. One came to JCB Aero's hangar in Auch, France for six and 18-month inspections and the other came for six and 12-month inspections. The latter had a broken cabin door that JCB Aero's in-house cabinet shop repaired in only one week. The aircraft also received new main wheel tyres before returning to service.

With ongoing projects and more to come, JCB Aero is optimistic about the coming months. Sébastien Kubler, chief operating officer at JCB Aero, states: “We are proud to see such a remarkable number of prestigious aircraft passing through our facilities. It reflects the trust our customers place in our teams and capabilities. Our objective is clear: to maintain this momentum and continue delivering the highest standards of quality and service in the months ahead.”
