AMAC Aerospace has grown into a world-leading aviation services business just a few years after its launch in 2007. Its reputation is for excellence in everything it does and its corporate, VIP and private customers look to AMAC to deliver high quality products and services at all times. When an important Middle Eastern customer wished to create a VIP area with the latest cabin management system (CMS) facilities on board its Boeing 777, Honeywell’s Ovation Select cabin management system was the clear winner in a tough competitive tender process. Installation was smooth and expertly executed, resulting in positive customer feedback after the 777’s very first flight with Ovation Select on board.
AMAC Aerospace was established in Basel, Switzerland in 2007 when four aviation industry experts came together with a shared vision to create the world’s largest and best privately-owned aviation services business for corporate, VIP and private customers. Today its huge, strategically positioned, state-of–the-art hangars in the heart of Europe at Basel Mulhouse Airport feature the latest technological innovations and can comfortably handle multiple narrow and wide-bodied aircraft simultaneously.
AMAC Aerospace carried out a full competitive tender process to identify the solution it felt confident to recommend to the customer, based on strict, technical, financial and project management criteria.
“Our customers are looking for us to handle these installations from start to finish,” said group chairman and CEO Kadri Muhiddin. After an exacting procurement process, AMAC Aerospace selected Honeywell’s highly flexible digital Ovation Select CMS within the VIP cabin. The solution included special LED coloured mood lighting and relaxation facilities.
Passengers can also control their environment from the comfort of their seats, with lighting, temperature and window shade positioning all easily adjustable at the touch of a button.
The Ovation Select system was fully integrated into the Boeing 777’s existing systems by Honeywell technicians and project managers based locally in Switzerland and in the Czech Republic working collaboratively with AMAC Aerospace and third parties.
“The installation went extremely well, there were no major issues and everything was delivered on time,” added Kadri Muhiddin.
“We constantly strive for excellence in everything we do - that is what our customers demand and what we expect of ourselves. So it is very important that our partners have the same philosophy, the same drive to be the best and that’s what Honeywell has done for us here.”
“It is always important to get positive feedback from our customer and so to receive that on the very first flight with Ovation Select on board is very pleasing.”
