AMAC Aerospace Turkey’s Bodrum operation has successfully completed 12-year inspections on two BBJ 737s. Reporting on the first project, the company said the scope of work included the removal and installation of the cabin, as well as the additional centre tank.
The Bodrum operation uses a mixed business model – carrying out commercial aviation line and base maintenance during the winter months and flipping over to VIP/business aviation maintenance during the summer months.
End-of-lease A320 redelivery project
AMAC Aerospace Turkey, Bodrum, also announced progress on its end-of-lease redelivery project involving seven A320 aircraft. The fifth aircraft has now been completed, with the final two in the last stages of maintenance.
This extensive project included a comprehensive 12-year inspection. As part of the maintenance and redelivery scope, the aircraft were fully repainted, and numerous components were removed, inspected and reinstalled. These included the galleys, lavatories, thrust reversers, landing gear and both engines, to allow access to the fuel tanks. The fuel tanks themselves were also removed and reinstalled as part of the procedure. Additionally, cargo compartment components were dismantled and reinstalled, and parts were sent to the shop for repair.
