Several aircraft have returned to service after maintenance at JCB Aero’s Auch, France hangar. Specifically, an ACJ 319 underwent 6-, 12- and 24-month inspections alongside several cabin rectifications, including work on monuments, cabinets, vinyl and paint. An ACJ 320 completed due maintenance in parallel, along with a small carpet repair at the entrance.

A second ACJ 319 was inducted for A1, A2 and C1 checks, including out-of-phase tasks. Its bladder tank was replaced during the visit, while the aircraft’s window shades were sent to AMAC Aerospace’s Basel facility for repair in the in-house workshop.

Demand for JCB Aero’s MRO services has remained high in 2026, with all three hangar slots occupied in the opening months of the year on projects combining maintenance with modifications and refurbishments. An ACJ 318 underwent a C2 check and minor modifications, including removal of the galley’s skillets and toaster and a repaint of the registration number. Two further ACJ 319s were checked, one for 6- and 18-month inspections and the other for 6- and 12-month inspections; the latter had a broken cabin door repaired by JCB Aero’s in-house cabinet shop within a week and received new main wheel tyres before returning to service.

Sébastien Kubler, chief operating officer at JCB Aero, says: “Our objective is clear: to maintain this momentum and continue delivering the highest standards of quality and service in the months ahead.”
