AMAC Aerospace of Switzerland has won a contract to refurbish a Boeing Business Jet (BBJ), hot on the heels of completing key refurbishment contracts that have included its first ever VVIP Boeing 747-8i.

The company revealed it has also won a new heavy base maintenance contract for a Boeing 777-200 while successfully completing a C-check on a VIP Airbus jet.


BBJ 737-700

The BBJ 737-700 refurbishment contract was awarded to the AMAC Aerospace facility in Basel by an undisclosed client. Under the contract, all cabin seats and divans will be stripped and reupholstered in accordance with the new approved design package and a new hand-made customised cabin carpet will be installed in the cabin of the jet. All cabin work has been certified by AMAC’s in-house design department. 


BBJ 3 737-900ER 

In addition to wining the new refurbishment contract, AMAC Aerospace revealed it has successfully returned a BBJ3 737-900ER to service following an interior reconfiguration. The reconfiguration included a built-up upholstery of new VIP seats, the installation of electrical high-low tables and a new VIP handmade carpet while the existing divans were modified to add more functionality and better comfort. The modification was accomplished on the EASA STC (European Aviation Safety Agency Supplemental Type Certificate). AMAC said the customer was “fully satisfied with the quality of workmanship and the on-time delivery of his BBJ 3 737-900ER”.

Earlier last month, AMAC said that it had delivered its first B747-8i in a VVIP configuration, under a completions contact which took two years to execute, making it the first completions centre in the world to redeliver an aircraft of this size and complexity. 

The cabin was decorated with the highest levels of custom furniture, monuments, exotic materials, bespoke artwork, easy flow of passenger mobility throughout the cabin as with plenty of storage space and high end technical equipment, such as peripheral cameras located around the exterior of the aircraft, Live TV, Satcom installations, additional water tanks, showers, beds, and galleys to name but a few.


VIP A330-200 

Meanwhile, AMAC Aerospace’s maintenance expertise continues to be in hot demand, with the company successfully completing a C-Check on an A330-200 VIP aircraft. During the C-Check various cabin interior details were reworked in accordance to the customer’s requirements for refurbishment. The C-Check was performed to the customer’s total satisfaction and the aircraft was delivered a week before the contractual delivery date.

Another new deal won by AMAC is a heavy base maintenance contract for a Boeing 777-200, which will include multiple cabin modifications.  This contract, says AMAC Aerospace, marks another milestone in its operations and is further testament to its ability to provide “the highest quality and maintenance services for wide-body aircraft”.

AMAC Aerospace specialises in narrow and wide-body VIP completions and maintenance for the corporate and private aviation market. Founded in 2007 in Basel, Switzerland, AMAC today is the largest privately owned facility of its kind in the world and is led by Kadri Muhiddin, Executive Chairman/Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Bernd Schramm, Group Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Mauro Grossi, Group Chief Financial Officer (CFO).
