The additional hangar area of 7,280 m2 and the additional apron area of 6,038 m2 allow AMAC Aerospace to further expand their capacity for wide-body maintenance work. 

AMAC Aerospace Switzerland is offering narrow- and wide-body VIP Completion and Maintenance for the corporate and private aviation market. Founded in 2007 AMAC Aerospace performed an extraordinary success story over the last eight years. Today the company is the largest privately owned facility in the world. AMAC Aerospace is today operating four hangars with an expansion zone of 28,280 m2 floor space, 6,251 m2 of workshop and office space as well as an apron area of 44,610 m2. The securely fenced tarmac opens directly onto the linkage taxiway. AMAC Aerospace runs now more than 85,000 m2 working space in total at EuroAirport in Basel. 

Purely dedicated to maintenance projects and wide-body aircrafts 

The new hangar is designed to accommodate at least one wide-body aircraft and two narrow-bodies respectively. Unlike the already existing three hangars, the fourth one is purely dedicated to maintenance projects and wide-body aircrafts. AMAC Aerospace dedicates one wide-body hangar to maintenance and two wide-body hangars to completions and refurbishment services. These hangars together comfortably accommodate multiple narrow- and wide-body aircraft, Boeing B747s, B777s, B787s, Airbus A340s, A330s and can extend to service an A380. AMAC`s smaller hangar is designed to simultaneously accommodate a wide variety of aircraft combinations for maintenance work. For instance, two narrow-body aircraft, Boeing Business Jets and/or Airbus A318, A319, A320, A321 or Gulfstreams and selected Bombardier jets. 

Maintenance centre for privately-owned and operated wide-body aircraft 

“Our brand new fourth 7,280m2 hangar is our maintenance center for privately-owned and operated wide-body aircraft, serving our clients from around the world. We are proud to offer our esteemed clientele the chance to experience AMAC professionalism in handling these specially conceived aircraft so notorious for demanding considerably more attention than standard airliners”, says Kadri Muhiddin, group executive chairman and CEO.
