Airbus has appointed Jet Aviation's maintenance, refurbishment and overhaul facility in Basel, Switzerland, an authorized service center for Airbus Corporate Jets. The authorization covers line and heavy maintenance, cabin refurbishing and cabin and system upgrades.

"Now that we are an ACJ-appointed service center, customers have peace of mind knowing that we are cooperating closely with the original manufacturer,” said Estelle Thorin, director of the large aircraft maintenance operation at the Jet Aviation Maintenance Center in Basel.

The facility has design and engineering departments, along with cabinetry, upholstery, sheet metal, composite and paint shops. Besides Airbus, it is also a factory-approved service center for Boeing Business Jets, Bombardier Business Jets, Dassault Falcon, Embraer Executive Jets and Gulfstream Aerospace.
