MELBOURNE – ExecuJet MRO Services Australia (ExecuJet), has completed its first 20-year maintenance check on a Global Express, the heaviest check one can do on this aircraft type.<\/p>\n
The work, which was carried out at ExecuJet\u2019s facility at Melbourne\u2019s Essendon Airport, 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.<\/p>\n
The 20-year check is extensive because it involves the cabin interior being removed so as to access areas of the fuselage that require inspecting and testing.<\/p>\n
In addition, this particular aircraft also needed to have all three landing gears overhauled.<\/p>\n
ExecuJet made the most of the downtime by upgrading the inflight entertainment system – that is part of the aircraft\u2019s Honeywell Ovation Select cabin management system – and installing USB-C outlets in the cabin for fast-charging of devices on board.<\/p>\n
Grant Ingall, Regional Vice President Australasia at ExecuJet MRO Services says: \u201c<\/em>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.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOur 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,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n ExecuJet MRO Services has been in Australia for more than two decades. Besides Melbourne, it also has heavy maintenance facilities in Perth and Sydney.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
