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.
