Interior Refurbishments on two Bombardier Challenger at ACC COLUMBIA Jet Service In the recent past, we welcomed a Bombardier Challenger 604 for major inspections and a Bombardier Challenger 605 for a pre purchase inspection in our facility at Cologne Bonn Airport. Both customers decided to use downtime for a complete interior refurbishment under direction of our Sales Manager Interior Thorsten Knickenberg. Customer aircraft Challenger 604 stayed in the Cologne hangar for a 96 month and a 192 month inspection and the landing gear to be shipped to the manufacturer for overhaul. The interior refurbishment included work on all leather and fabric components as a complete new carpet, work on seats, sidewalls, headliner and minor repairs of the wooden surfaces of the galley. All work was performed as scheduled and after a check flight without findings the aircraft was released to service even 4 days before the deadline. Customer aircraft Challenger 605 was ferried to ACC COLUMBIA Jet Service to perform a pre purchase inspection including the re-registration for the new owner. Within this project a refurbishment program was set up guiding the client through all processes from idea, concept, planning to realization. Besides of applying new surface technologies by means of an architectural film application, the carpet and curtains have been new manufactured and replaced. The passenger seats shine in a new look with modern styled seat covers and belts, cabin hardware has been plated and additional refurbishment has been performed on cabin linings, reveal- and valance panels. This project as well was completed within time and budget with another satisfied customer enjoying his new interior. With regard to the project management Thorsten Knickenberg explains: “Every interior project is unique and you will probably never find the standard approach. The range of options is sheer endless and we are anytime happy to support and take the challenges in any directions with solid, fully customized, and sustainable concepts. Customer demands range from an exact idea up to the wish to get guidance towards fully customized cabin interior solutions not compromising any aesthetical and design aspects.” Thorsten Knickenberg assists our customers with his comprehensive expertise and experience in the interior sector at ACC COLUMBIA Jet Service already since years: “In a 145 environment, interior completion management and team work is vital for a successful realization within time and budget. We will be happy to welcome you for your project!”
