ExecuJet MRO Services Australia has completed its first 20-year maintenance check on a Global Express, at its facility at Melbourne’s Essendon Airport.
The company noted the work is the heaviest airframe maintenance check one can do on a Global Express, because the oldest aircraft of this type are around 24 years old. The 20-year check is extensive because it involves the removal of the cabin interior to access areas of the fuselage that require inspecting and testing. In addition, this particular aircraft also needed all three landing gears overhauled.
ExecuJet made the most of the downtime by upgrading the IFE system – that is part of the aircraft’s Honeywell Ovation Select cabin management system – and installing USB-C outlets in the cabin for charging devices on board.
“With more Global Express aircraft coming due for this check in the coming years, we are well positioned as we have the experience and attention to detail,” said Grant Ingall, regional VP, Australasia, at ExecuJet MRO Services. “Our clients recognise that we have the capability and capacity to deliver quality services, on time and cost effectively; that makes ExecuJet MRO Services the preferred MRO partner for business jet owners and operators in Australia and the region.”
ExecuJet MRO Services has been in Australia for more than two decades. Besides the Melbourne site, it also has heavy maintenance facilities in Perth and Sydney.
