RUAG Aviation recently completed an 8C check on a Bombardier Global Express XRS to full customer satisfaction.
The downtime for the heavy maintenance inspection was optimized and included an upgrade to Satcom and WiFi communication technology.
The project was completed at the aircraft services provider’s facilities at Munich-Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany. RUAG Aviation is a Bombardier Authorized Service Center.
“Customers have the opportunity to enhance their aircraft’s productivity, even during the downtimes required by heavy maintenance inspections like this 8C check,” states Ralf Ott, Senior Manager Sales & Customer Support.
“Combining the scheduled visit with additional services from our one-stop shop portfolio is a very real and effective way to save time and costs while also developing further passenger options to enhance growth,” he explains further.
Seeking to upgrade the communication technology configuration available on their Bombardier Global Express XRS, the customer specifically chose SwiftBroadband (SBB) to ensure continuous global coverage in both the cabin and cockpit, as well as a new WiFi router installation with Global VT and XStream for seamless device interfacing.
RUAG relied on in-house engineering expertise to tailor the solutions to the specific aircraft as well as enable additional personalized options. RUAG is uniquely positioned to support Bombardier business aircraft at their Center of Excellence for Bombardier jets at the Munich location.
“We have been servicing Bombardier aircraft for 37 years now. Our customers benefit from our accumulated expertise on all services related to their Bombardier business jets, as well as our thorough engineering skills,” confirms Volker Wallrodt, Senior Vice President Business Jets, Dornier 228 & Components, RUAG Aviation.
“We encourage our customers to take advantage of scheduled heavy maintenance inspections to enhance the aircraft’s value, performance, comfort and convenience.”
