FAI Technik Completes Challenger 604 Refurb Project

FAI Technik GmbH, Nuremberg, Germany-based MRO, has refurbished a pre-owned Bombardier Challenger 604 on behalf of a corporate client. The aircraft will be operated under NCC regulations by FAI Technik’s parent company, FAI rent-a-jet GmbH. This project was FAI’s first extensive refurbishment on the Challenger series.

The one-million-euro project took approximately 2500 manhours to complete and features VIP seating for 12 passengers, high gloss carbon fiber veneer surfaces, soft furnishings in grey, polished smoked nickel with glossy clear coat metal platings throughout and stylish white marble countertops and stone floors in the galley and restroom. The luxury interior is complemented by Gogo´s Aviator 300 with intermediate gain antenna, Wi-Fi internet and Collins´ Airshow 500 installation. Exterior designer paint was undertaken by Satys in Norwich, UK and features a VIP finish in silver grey metallic.

The Challenger 604 refurbishment follows FAI Technik’s recent prototype installation of Collins Ku-Band Highspeed Internet System on a Challenger 850. Meanwhile FAI Technik has completed eight installations of Honeywell’s Ka-Band on Bombardier BD700 aircraft. The MRO division has also successfully installed Collins ultra-high-speed Ku-Band inflight connectivity system on Global Express and Challenger 850 aircraft and will soon commence the prototype installation on a Challenger 605.

FAI Technik GmbH is part of the FAI Aviation Group.
