The latest Falcon 20 was completely refurbished throughout by MAC and Egypt Air - Maintenance and Engineering. The woodwork, including the galley and pull out tables, were all re-veneered with Burr walnut, the cabin seats were re-styled and fitted with new foams and premium quality leather upholstery. The gold throughout the aircraft was stripped re-polished and re-plated and new composite structure was designed manufactured and approved where required. All of the installation work was achieved at the premises of Egypt Air in Cairo. 

The timeframe provided for MAC to complete their part in the manufacturing and refurbishment work was 6 weeks.

Stephen Whittaker, MD, said: “The programme has been a challenge for both MAC and Egypt Air, for not only did we refurbish the aircraft interior components, we also fitted the interior at Egypt Air’s own facility and trained their team on how to fit and care for the new interiors.  This will enable the airline to save massive costs on maintaining the aircraft in future. Due to the outstanding skills demonstrated during the refurbishment of these first two Falcon aircraft, we now have an all encompassing MoU with Egypt Air meaning we will be partnering with them on many other projects in the future. This is an exciting opportunity for MAC.”
