West Star Aviation is announcing that its Chattanooga, TN location (CHA) has recently completed its first 120-month inspection on a Global 6000 aircraft.
The 120-month inspection is a major maintenance event that involves a thorough dismantling of the aircraft’s cabin, extensive structural inspections of the airframe, and a complete overhaul of the landing gear.
This process addresses any necessary service bulletins or upgrades and is a comprehensive check of the aircraft after 10 years of operation.
The downtime required for this inspection ranges from 12 to 14 weeks on average.
The inspection was completed on time and on budget for customer OGARA JETS, with two squawk-free flights prior to delivery.
Johnny Foster, president and CEO of OGARA JETS said: “I am very pleased with West Star team’s diligent oversight and execution of the 8C inspection on the Global.
“We appreciate the strong working relationship between our companies and look forward to enjoying much more partnered success in 2025,” he said.
Connor Mottice, technical sales manager, Bombardier/Embraer, West Star Aviation said: “Our Chattanooga team is proud to be able to deliver once again for our friends and partners at OGARA JETS with a smooth 120-month inspection on the Global 6000.
“As a leader in the aircraft acquisition and sales space, it means a lot that OGARA JETS continues to trust West Star Aviation for these major events,” he continued.
