Nomad Technics recently completed its first 12-year inspection on an Airbus ACJ319, marking the Swiss MRO company's largest maintenance event ever undertaken on an Airbus ACJ319. The inspection involved a thorough examination of the aircraft’s primary and secondary structure, which required the removal and reinstallation of the entire cabin interior.

Its inspection revealed corrosion on some components, requiring either replacement or repair. Engineers also rectified system and structural defects and carried out inspections and maintenance work on engines and thrust reversers. Functional and operational tests of all aircraft systems concluded the maintenance event and Nomad returned the aircraft to the customer.

“The successful completion of this first 12-year inspection on an ACJ319 is a great milestone for Nomad Technics and will enable us to further enhance our capabilities to offer and execute this type of demanding maintenance service not only on Airbus but also on a variety of other aircraft types,” said Serge Kieffer, maintenance manager of Nomad Technics.

Company director of sales and project manager Thomas Gierlich expressed gratification for its Airbus cabin and sheet metal teams. “We are looking forward to welcoming owners and operators of Airbus aircraft at our Basel, Switzerland facility to demonstrate our highly skilled VVIP aircraft maintenance and bespoke aviation services,” he concluded.
