SWISS AVIATION ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE
AMAC Aerospace: VIP Aircraft Completion, Maintenance & Engineering
AMAC Aerospace, featured on Biz Tech Outlook, is a Swiss excellence company known as AMAC Aerospace Switzerland AG. It is a specialized organisation supporting airlines and leasing companies addressing global aviation needs through aircraft completion, heavy maintenance, and asset management.
The company works on widebody VIP completions and several Dassault Falcon aircraft, Gulfstream aircraft, Bombardier aircraft, and privately owned ACJ fleets. Each aircraft underwent strict inspections with airworthiness authorities and original equipment manufacturers to ensure safety and compliance.
AMAC Aerospace’s hangars at key locations such as Ataturk International Airport and private airport facilities support engine maintenance, base maintenance, and commercial line services. Modern hangars and a new hangar expansion strengthen its digital future and operational capacity.
Through AMAC acquired JCB Aero and AMAC acquired Gamit, including Gamit Ltd as an owned subsidiary, the company expanded aircraft spare parts, consignment stock provisioning, and repair management services across the Middle East and Europe.
With deep industry roots and strong international networks, the AMAC team collaborates with leasing companies, leasing companies addressing global demand, and operators managing aircraft input and technical records. The group delivers Swiss excellence with long term industry engagement and high quality aircraft re delivery standards.
A Swiss Leader In Business Aviation, Trusted Since 2007
AMAC Aerospace specialises in VIP/VVIP aircraft completion, heavy maintenance, refurbishment, engineering and aircraft asset management. The figures behind the brand are concrete: a group of eight hangars across Switzerland, France, Turkey and Lebanon, a regional office in Saudi Arabia, and more than 100,000 m² of production space.
With over 1,350 specialists in dedicated aviation disciplines, AMAC is recognised as the largest privately owned aircraft completion and maintenance facility in the world. That private ownership is a deliberate advantage — rapid decision-making with strict control over quality, timelines and certification, integrating design, CAMO, engineering, maintenance, production and supply chain under one roof.

Proven Experience: Landmark Projects, Not Generic Claims
Experience in this industry is measured in delivered aircraft, not adjectives. AMAC’s track record includes genuine world firsts:
- December 2025 — EASA certification for the world's first VVIP-completed Airbus A350, led by Senior Project Manager Alexandre Guyot under a dedicated Supplemental Type Certificate (STC).
- 2020 — First completion centre in the world to deliver an Airbus A320neo VIP completion.
- Head-of-state widebody work — Holds the EASA STC for the VIP configuration of the Boeing 747-8i, with completion experience across the Boeing 777-200 and 777-300.
- Operational scale — In a recent 12-month period, Basel completed 50+ widebodies, 120+ narrowbodies and 250+ midsize jets, and welcomed 80+ new technicians.
- April 2025 — Hosted five Boeing 747s in Basel simultaneously, including a 6A check with Starlink installation and a D check.
Every completion AMAC delivers carries its own STC — the regulatory proof that the modification meets airworthiness standards.
Engineering Expertise Led By Certified Aviation Professionals
AMAC’s engineering authority starts at the top. Group Executive Chairman and CEO Kadri Muhiddin is an aeronautical engineer and licensed aircraft maintenance engineer with more than 40 years of experience in heavy maintenance, overhaul and modification. He holds EASA and FAA credentials and is a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society (UK). Group CFO Mauro Grossi brings more than 20 years of senior financial leadership, anchoring the group’s stability across Europe and beyond.
Beneath that leadership sits a qualified organisation of certified maintenance engineers, cabin design specialists and avionics integration experts. Core technical capabilities include:
- EASA Part-145 certified maintenance operations
- EASA Part-21J design organisation work, including in-house STC development
- Aircraft cabin interior engineering and redesign
- Avionics modification and full systems integration
- Structural modification and repair engineering
- CAMO continuing airworthiness and technical records management
All work follows manufacturer documentation from Airbus, Boeing Business Jets, Gulfstream, Bombardier and Dassault — ensuring compliance, safety and long-term asset value.
VIP And VVIP Aircraft Completion
Bespoke completion is AMAC’s signature capability — full in-house design, engineering, manufacturing, installation and certification of minor and major modifications. In-house workshops cover cabinetry, woodwork, upholstery, sheet metal, varnishing, painting, window shading, electrical outfitting, composites, NDT, avionics and calibration. Completion programmes include:
- Bespoke cabin design and interior engineering
- Luxury seating, lounge and private-suite installation
- High-end material integration in leather, wood and composite finishes
- In-flight entertainment and next-generation connectivity, including LEO constellations and Starlink
- Lighting, acoustics and environmental optimisation
Each project moves through a controlled design-to-delivery process: client briefing, engineering feasibility and compliance validation, cabin mock-up and approval, installation and systems integration, then final regulatory inspection and delivery certification under a project-specific STC.
Facilities And Hangar Infrastructure
AMAC’s primary base sits at EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse (BSL/MLH), straddling Switzerland and France, where five modern hangars accommodate the world’s largest aircraft simultaneously — Boeing 747s, 777s and 787s, and Airbus A350s, A330s, A340s and even the A380. A dedicated narrowbody hangar handles BBJs, the Airbus A318–A321 family, Gulfstreams and selected Bombardier types.
The group’s facilities in Bodrum and Istanbul, Turkey, add regional MRO depth: Bodrum delivered over 95% of its base-maintenance checks on time in its most recent year, including a five-aircraft A330 end-of-lease programme, while Istanbul services Pilatus PC-12, PC-24 and the full range of Dassault Falcon aircraft.
Multi-Platform Aircraft Support
A single integrated provider lets operators and leasing companies consolidate their fleet requirements. AMAC supports a broad range of business and head-of-state platforms:
| Manufacturer / Type | Models supported |
|---|---|
| Gulfstream | G450, G550 and G650 series |
| Bombardier | Global and Challenger series |
| Dassault Falcon | F2000, F2000EX EASy, F900EX EASy, Falcon 7X |
| Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJ) | Full ACJ family |
| Boeing Business Jets (BBJ) | BBJ, including the 747 and 777 |
Since joining the Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJ) Service Centre Network in December 2024, AMAC has reinforced its position as an MRO partner for ACJ operators worldwide.
Asset Management And Pre-Purchase Inspections
Beyond maintenance and completion, AMAC delivers structured asset-management services that protect aircraft value across the ownership lifecycle:
- Pre-purchase inspections (PPIs) for buyers and lessors
- Lease-return condition assessments
- Continuing airworthiness management (CAMO) support
- Technical records management and audits
- Maintenance planning and forecasting
Demand for PPIs is currently high as the pre-owned transaction market revives, and AMAC’s generous hangar capacity allows short-notice slot allocation — letting a PPI and any follow-on maintenance be completed in a single downtime.
Spare Parts, AOG Support And Supply Chain
AMAC maintains an OEM-aligned supply chain covering parts sourcing, consignment stock programmes, component-repair coordination and rapid Aircraft-on-Ground (AOG) response. In November 2025 the group signed an AOG support agreement with Alpha Star at the Dubai Airshow, extending its rapid-response footprint across the Gulf region.
Strategic Growth Through Targeted Acquisition
AMAC has deepened its capability through deliberate acquisitions. In May 2016 it acquired JCB Aero in Auch, France — a specialist in fixed- and rotary-wing cabin interior manufacturing that now also runs MRO operations. The integration of GAMIT Ltd, a UK technical-support specialist founded in 1990 at London Stansted, strengthened the group’s technical records, CAMO and maintenance-planning capabilities. Together these moves transformed AMAC into a full-spectrum provider with design, engineering and maintenance under one organisation.
Regulatory Compliance, Safety And Quality
AMAC operates under strict, verifiable approvals:
- EASA Part-145 Maintenance Organisation Approval
- EASA Part-21J Design Organisation Approval (STC development)
- CAMO continuing-airworthiness approval
- Boeing and Airbus OEM maintenance authorisations
- Airbus Corporate Jets Service Centre Network membership
- Extended GACA (Saudi Arabia) approval, renewed November 2025
- ISO-aligned quality management with an internal Safety Management System (SMS)
Every project passes incoming technical evaluation, in-process quality control and final airworthiness certification. AMAC has also completed a Scope 1 and 2 carbon-footprint assessment and is progressing toward ISO 14001 certification.
Digital Transformation
AMAC continues to invest in digital maintenance tracking, electronic technical logbooks, predictive maintenance planning and engineering data management — reducing ground time and improving lifecycle predictability. Over the past six months it has completed numerous tailored satcom installations supporting both traditional and next-generation LEO systems.
