The widebody aircraft was converted from a conventional airliner into VIP configuration with tailor-made interior, club seats and table, in-flight entertainment (IFE) system, a new power system and other features not reveled by SR Technics. Additionally the aircraft underwent a C-check during the completion.

The work was completed at the 4,800 sqm Bogenhangar, in Zurich Switzerland; SR Technics’ dedicated VIP secure completion center, launched in May 2011 in complaince with Production Organization Approval (EASA 21G) from the Swiss Federal Office for Civil Aviation.

André Wall, President at SR Technics. said: “This has been an exciting first project for our VIP and MRO teams in Zurich and we are delighted to have successfully completed our first modification and refurbishment project within the tight timeframe agreed with the customer. Our ability to offer VIP completion services in parallel with MRO activities brings many advantages, not least reducing down-time when the aircraft is non-operational.

“As a result of the performance delivered by SR Technics on the first aircraft, we are pleased to announce that we have signed an MOU for our second aircraft. This is testament to high quality standards our entire project team aspire and deliver to.”
