PEMCO performs first heavy check on foreign-registered VIP ExecuJet Aircraft

Pemco World Air Services reported the redelivery of the first heavy maintenance check performed on a foreign-registered VIP aircraft. The jet had an outward appearance of a typical commercial airliner, but the MD-87 aircraft’s interior was nothing but first-class from nose to tail. With decades of heavy maintenance experience under their belt, the PEMCO team performed a standard heavy maintenance check and assured the aircraft was in compliance with FAA and EASA airworthiness directives. The heavy check included engine removal for shop overhaul and reinstallation, nose gear removal for overhaul and reinstallation, and an airframe C-check. In order to perform a proper C-check, the first-class interior, featuring bedrooms, full bathrooms, kitchens, and state-of-the-art electronics, had to be safely dissembled and removed. Once the check was completed, the interior was reinstalled in the same pristine condition as it arrived.
