Jet Aviation Basel recently performed its first C-check on a Dassault Falcon 7X. The inspection was completed in conjunction with an EASy II upgrade, a satcom installation, a soft-material refurbishment, woodwork rectification and exterior painting. To keep downtime to a minimum, technicians worked in shifts throughout the entire project.

“Our ability to coordinate on-site refurbishments and upgrades during extensive maintenance checks adds further value by enabling our customers to maximize utilization of their aircraft,” said Johannes Turzer, vice president and general manager of the Jet Aviation Basel maintenance center.
