Basel, Switzerland — Jet Aviation Basel has been awarded a new refurbishment contract for an Airbus 330-200 by an undisclosed client.

Jet Aviation Basel recently signed a contract with a long-standing customer to perform cabin modifications and general refurbishment of an Airbus 330-200 aircraft. To reduce the required downtime of the aircraft and to ensure timely completion and redelivery, Jet Aviation will prepare all required parts in advance of the Airbus’s arrival at the facility, scheduled for the end of 2011. These critical requirements were identified during Jet Aviation’s “upfront” staging process.

“Customers at Jet Aviation Basel appreciate working with our engineering and pre-production teams during the upfront phase and greatly value our ability to customize aircraft to their exact specifications,” says Stephan Krenz, senior vice president and general manager of Jet Aviation Basel.
