just keep coming<br />
The upturn in the US economy<br />
may still be no better than modest,<br />
but it is more than enough,<br />
it seems, for owners and operators<br />
to get busy upgrading and<br />
renovating their fl eet interiors.<br />
AMAC has certainly been enjoying the upturn<br />
in the economy and has benefi tted too, from<br />
winning a number of heavy maintenance projects<br />
through 2015.<br />
In late October AMAC announced that it had<br />
both won a new project and returned to major<br />
maintenance and refurbishment projects back<br />
to service. The new project involves an undisclosed<br />
Head-of-State client putting an A340 into<br />
AMAC’s Basel facility. The A340 is there for a<br />
heavy maintenance check and at the same time<br />
AMAC have been requested to carry out various<br />
cabin modifi cations and upgrades. These include<br />
a seat and divan refurbishment, a SATCOM<br />
upgrade and a carpet replacement. AMAC was<br />
chosen by the client in view of the company’s<br />
extensive experience in working on customized<br />
VVIP aircrafts and aircraft cabins.<br />
AMAC also completed work on an A320,<br />
which was returned to another undisclosed<br />
Head-of-State customer following a heavy base<br />
maintenance check that, once again, included a<br />
SATCOM and cabin connectivity upgrade, giving<br />
the client access to GSM while on board.<br />
A separate project involved the completion of<br />
work on a BBJ following a cabin refurbishment<br />
and maintenance work. The BBJ was sold on to<br />
a new customer who selected AMAC to install a<br />
new design concept in the cabin. This involved<br />
changing the colours and materials of the seats<br />
and divans. The facility’s track record in meeting<br />
tight deadlines was a major factor in this project<br />
win, according to an AMAC spokesperson, since<br />
the project had both a very short lead time and<br />
limited ground time available.<br />
AMAC provided complete and comprehensive<br />
support with regard to the prebuy<br />
inspection, all rectifi cation, refurbishment and<br />
maintenance work as well as the asset transfer<br />
to the new owner. AMAC has also provided assistance<br />
to enable a smooth transition to the<br />
customer`s newly appointed CAMO (Continu-<br />
