TAG Aviation Maintenance Services Europe has completed its first 120-month inspection on a Global Express aircraft. The 120-month inspection project – which was completed in August and has been carried out at TAG Farnborough's Maintenance Services Centre – included a full strip and repaint of the aircraft's livery, a SwiftBroadband upgrade and a cabin refurbishment which was undertaken at TAG's Maintenance Services Centre in Geneva. As the largest maintenance event to be undertaken on a Global Express, the 120-month inspection ensures a thorough examination of the aircraft airframe – the cabin interior has to be completely removed for access to facilitate the inspection which makes it an ideal time to perform any avionics upgrades such as SATCOM that requires such access. The 120-month inspection also included a major overhaul of the landing gear and the aircraft's in-cabin connectivity has received an upgrade to SwiftBroadband with a new Satcom Direct Router – which includes Global VT, Aero XR and Sky Ticket – all supplied by Satcom Direct.
