Dassault Aviation’s subsidiary ExecuJet MRO Services Middle East recently completed an extensive cabin interior refurbishment, installation of a new satcom system and an airframe heavy maintenance check on a Global 6000 aircraft.
The company says that this particular airframe maintenance check, due once every 120 months, is one of the heaviest one can do on a Global 6000, as it also includes a full landing gear overhaul.
Nick Weber, Regional VP Middle East at ExecuJet MRO Services commented: “A few years ago, clients in the Middle East would send these projects – a very heavy maintenance check coupled with a major cabin refurbishment – to MRO companies in Europe, but these projects are now coming here to Dubai.
“Clients recognise that we have the capacity, including available slots – allowing us to be flexible in meeting client needs. And we have the manpower and expertise to deliver to the highest quality. Our highly trained engineering teams enjoy a wealth of experience on the Global and Challenger family of business jets.”
ExecuJet installed Satcom Direct’s new Plane Simple high-speed Ku system on the aircraft during the project. The system provides data speeds of up to 15 Mbps. “Refurbished interior and new satcom system are savvy investments and the aircraft’s value will increase now,” says Weber.
Regarding the cabin refurbishment work, ExecuJet MRO Services Middle East has a longstanding relationship with European interior aircraft specialist F/List which also has a facility in Dubai.
The company and F/List Dubai finished the interior work that included new leather upholstery for the cockpit and cabin seats, new carpet and new dado panel material.
