ExecuJet Africa extends maintenance offering at Cape Town facility

A Bombardier* Dash 8 / Q300 aircraft is currently undergoing C-check base maintenance, an extensive inspection needed after a specific number of flight hours, in ExecuJet’s 6,000 m² Cape Town hangar.  More Dash 8 / Q300 aircraft are expected to undergo maintenance at the facility by the end of April. “We are pleased to be able to offer support for the Dash 8 / Q300 aircraft at our Cape Town facility. There are a significant number of these aircraft operating in Africa and there is a need to provide these operators with a maintenance facility capable of performing heavy maintenance on these aircraft types. 

“The location of the Cape Town facility is ideally suited for aircraft based in Africa,” said Steve Bothma, maintenance director, ExecuJet South Africa. 

ExecuJet had previously carried out C-check base maintenance on Dash 8* aircraft at ExecuJet’s Lanseria International Airport facility. ExecuJet Africa’s maintenance capabilities vary from minor inspections and checks to heavy maintenance checks such as C, D and cycle/hour checks, structural repairs, modifications and interior refurbishment, in addition to avionics installations and modifications. 

The supporting workshops are able to accommodate wheels, brakes, batteries, composite repairs, paint repairs and interior, as well as full exterior refurbishment activities.
