Jet Aviation’s Singapore facility has received accreditation to perform authorised maintenance, refurbishment and warranty work as a member of the Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJ) service centre network. Singapore is the third Jet Aviation maintenance site to join the service centre network, and the only member in Asia-Pacific.
The agreement enables the company to perform authorised maintenance-related activities, modification, warranty work and claims, interior cabin refurbishment, and software upgrades for ACJ 318/319/320/321 series aircraft in Asia-Pacific.
The announcement was made at a signing ceremony held at Jet Aviation’s maintenance site at Seletar airport, Singapore, with David Best, Jet Aviation’s SVP of regional operations for the Americas and interim APAC, and Chadi Saade, president of Airbus Corporate Jets, in attendance.
“We are very proud to see Singapore join our sites in Basel and Dubai as a member of the ACJ authorised service centre network,” said Best. “Singapore is a key business aviation maintenance hub in Asia-Pacific, with excellent connectivity to the region and beyond. This extension of our on-site capabilities builds on our ongoing global partnership with ACJ and our commitment to providing a seamless service for Airbus customers wherever, and whenever they need us.”
“We are delighted to extend our long-term partnership with Jet Aviation,” said Saade. “Very soon our customers in Asia will be able to receive the same high-quality Airbus-approved services in Singapore that are already available at Jet Aviation’s facilities in Basel and Dubai.”
“This milestone expands our ACJ service centre network into Asia, further meeting our operators’ needs globally,” Saade added.
