MRO services provider FAI Technik has performed a full cabin refurbishment and completed a 7,800 landings’ inspection on a Bombardier Challenger 604, marking a significant milestone in its maintenance capabilities. The company says that the inspection, which one of the most comprehensive and rare procedures performed on the airframe, achieved in over 6,000 manhours, required extensive disassembly of the aircraft.
Components including the engines, fuel tanks, APU, thrust reversers, and flight controls were removed for detailed non-destructive testing (NDT) such as X-ray, ultrasonic, eddy current, and magnetic inspection.
The full cabin refurbishment elevated the existing unique 18-passenger configuration to new standards of elegance and functionality and now features enhanced superior comfort, making it ideal for larger groups seeking a premium travel experience.
FAI Technik also installed a state-of-the-art SwiftBroadband (Aviator 350) Satcom system, offering seamless connectivity for passengers and crew.
“Performing a 7,800 landings’ inspection is a complex and rare undertaking. I am proud of our team for their exceptional performance in delivering this project on time and to the satisfaction of our customer,” said Michael Axtmann, Managing Director of FAI Technik.
“Our ability to execute such intricate tasks reflects the unparalleled expertise of the team and the investments we’ve made in our MRO capabilities.”
