AMAC Aerospace Reports 25% Rise in Bombardier Maintenance Projects

AMAC Aerospace reported a 25% increase in Bombardier maintenance projects compared with 2025. The company also said it expects to carry out its third 8C inspection on a Bombardier Global Express during 2026, making this its first year with three such inspections.

Key details

• AMAC Aerospace expects a Bombardier Challenger to arrive in early 2027 for a medevac installation and Gogo FDX connectivity system.
• The company said it completed a self-defense installation on an ACJ330 in 2026 and has two Bombardier Challenger installations in progress.
• AMAC said it has equipped nine aircraft with self-defense solutions since 2016.
• The company reported renewed customer interest in full-scale cabin mockups, which it can design and build in-house.
• JCB Aero reportedly received Boeing Part 145 approval in August 2026 for base and line maintenance on Boeing 737-600, -700, -800 and -900 aircraft.

Why it matters

The reported increase points to more Bombardier maintenance work for AMAC, while the planned Challenger project combines a medical-evacuation cabin installation with an onboard connectivity system. JCB Aero's reported approval also adds Boeing 737 maintenance capability to its services.
