Strong MRO demand, increasing group synergies, and expansion into Saudi Arabia have marked the past year at AMAC Aerospace (Booth C72), the Swiss VIP aircraft services specialist told AIN on the eve of EBACE 2023. AMAC, which has headquarters in Basel, Switzerland, also provides MRO services in Istanbul and Bodrum, Turkey. These services are complemented by two subsidiaries—online maintenance data services firm Gamit UK and composites component specialist JCB Aero—along with the company's new office in Riyadh.

MRO demand has been particularly strong in Basel, with all hangar slots booked and brisk widebody activity. In the first quarter, AMAC simultaneously hosted four VIP Boeing 777s for MRO work. Demand for the repair of composite materials is high, as AMAC is among the few companies in Europe with the equipment and expertise to handle such fixes, due in part to its JCB subsidiary. In addition, the company said, the Basel location has “earned an excellent reputation for AOG support.”
