FAI Technik Reports Record Results in 2017

FAI Technik, the maintenance division of Germany’s FAI Aviation Group, has reported record financial results in 2017, achieving revenues of €9.7M for the first time in the company’s history. The division’s revenues mark a significant increase of 40% compared with 2016. 

The company inaugurated its new 4,500 m2 carbon neutral Hangar 8 last year, the largest general aviation hangar complex in Germany, complementing its existing 2,000 m2 Hangar 6 and 3,000 m2 Hangar 7.

FAI Technik has completed its most challenging project to date: a 6,000-man-hour cabin conversion of a classic Global Express aircraft for a corporate client including the installation of an XRS cabin including a 180-month inspection and paint.

The MRO has also just completed a combined 96 and 192 month inspection as well as a full cabin refurbishment and new paint on a Challenger 604 on behalf of German GA Operator, Air Independence.

Currently in progress for the same customer is another full cabin refurbishment of a Global Express, including the fitting of a Batch 3 Honeywell avionics upgrade to enhance the existing features and capabilities; the introduction of mandatory ADS-B Out technology and high-speed internet, among other technical modifications to meet EASA standard.

This month FAI Technik completed its first combined 12 year/12,000 hour inspection of a Learjet 60, having already complied with several 12 year inspections on Learjet aircraft in the past.
