Jet Aviation Basel – Growing alongside
business aviation
In 1967, Carl Hirschmann, founder of Jet Aviation, rented
a hangar at the Basel airport and established a maintenance
facility. He understood that business aviation was coming
to Europe, and he knew that reliable maintenance services
would be essential. As the company grew and expanded
internationally, Hirschmann also foresaw that individuals
would buy big airplanes and then want highly customized
interiors for those aircraft. With that in mind, he bought an
old Cathay Pacific Convair 880, installed a luxury interior
and took it to the 1977 Paris Air Show.
Completions became a specialty at Jet Aviation, which
now has one of the largest completions centers in the
world. In 2008, Jet Aviation Basel added a new wide-body
hangar large enough to work on any wide-body aircraft,
including the Airbus A380. Our skilled employees make it
possible to do all aspects of even elaborate completions
in-house, saving you time and guaranteeing premium
quality.
2
Today, in addition to its extensive maintenance and
completions capabilities, Jet Aviation Basel is a leader in
avionics, refurbishment and paint services. Thanks
to this broad expertise, you can have all of your needs
taken care of in a single downtime.
Jet Aviation Basel is located at EuroAirport BaselMulhouse-Freiburg, which is operated jointly by
Switzerland and France. Basel is the third largest city
in Switzerland and shares borders with both Germany
and France. It functions as a major center for the
chemical and pharmaceutical industries, and is
important to the banking sector as home to the Bank
for International Settlements and the Basel Committee
on Banking Supervision. The city also hosts trade
shows such as Art Basel, Orbit and the “Basel World”
watch and jewelry show.
At Jet Aviation Basel you can benefit from more than
40 years of experience. We have grown with the business
aviation sector and remain at the forefront of new
developments. Let us put our experience to work for you.

Design
Matching your vision
Our designers are specialists for aircraft interiors. This
means that in addition to making sure you get the exact
look you want, our staff is also experienced at meeting
aviation requirements, maximizing space and mini mizing
cost. Our team of more than 20 interior designers is here
to listen to you. They will not only create your design or
work with external designers, but also represent you
through the engineering, production and installation
processes.
4
Our interior design team is supported by a large number
of craftsmen specialized in areas such as upholstery
and cabinetry. This means that we can meet requests
for extravagant luxury designs, such as those involving
intricate wood inlay, embroidered wall textiles and
hand-painted ceilings. Our advanced, highly experienced
technical teams also make it easy for designers to
include advanced lighting and entertainment systems
in their plans.
The executive interiors we design often include
bedrooms, custom-designed bathrooms with
showers, conference rooms, galleys, restroom areas
and exclusive entertainment systems. We also have
extensive experience with additional entertaining,
working and sleeping spaces that can be installed in
wide-body aircraft.
Our interior designers have a complete overview of
the project and accompany you from initial sketches all
the way through to aircraft delivery.
We have the skills and experience to make sure that
your lifestyle is reflected in the design of your cabin.
With our teams of designers and craftsmen, we can make
your vision a reality.

Completions I Outfitting
Making your cabin a personalized space
We have the skills and experience to create the cabin
interior you envision. The cooperation between our
production staff, interior designers and engineers creates
a broad base of capabilities that allows us to offer
the highly customized, high-quality interiors that bring
clients from around the world to our facility.
Our engineers become involved early in the design
process, advising you and the designer about the
structural and electrical requirements of proposed
interiors. The final design plans and detailed
layout are passed on to our production shops and
then receive in-house certification.
With our completions staff of over 800 professionals,
Jet Aviation Basel has become one of the world’s largest
organizations in the VIP and business aircraft
completions field since 1977.
We have the capability and experience to outfit “green”
aircraft, not only for smaller and medium-size jets
but also for airliner type aircraft like Airbus A319/320,
A330, A340, A380, Boeing 727, 737, BBJ as well as
Boeing 747, 757 and 767.
6
Beginning in 1996, Jet Aviation Basel also began
outfitting Dassault Falcon aircraft. Subsequently, a
designated Dassault Falcon completions line was
established, and in 2009 the 100 th VIP cabin interior was
delivered. Dassault Falcon 2000 and 900 series as well
as the new Dassault Falcon 7X aircraft are outfitted with
state-of-the-art onboard systems as well as high-class
interiors exceeding the customer’s design expectations.
We continually keep abreast of changes in aircraft
construction that affect the completions process. We also
offer completions for the Boeing 787 and the Airbus
A350 aircraft, both of which will contain a significantly
higher percentage of composites than current airliners.
Our extensive in-house capabilities include highest
quality standards and long standing relationships with
suppliers, having cultivated close contacts with
speciality companies around the world for over three
decades.

Completions I Outfitting
At Jet Aviation Basel, it is important to us that the details
of your cabin are exactly the way you want them. In order
to achieve that level of customization and quality, we
do much of the work by hand. In our upholstery shop, for
example, the leather on seats, cabinets and sidewalls is
usually sewn and glued by hand. You can choose all the
details, down to the stitching in the seams.
Our cabinetry shop creates lightweight furniture that is
as functional as it is beautiful. Our staff has been trained
in the fine arts of woodworking, and has the advanced
skills to do work such as bending veneer around corners
and making complex designs with it.
8
These shops are supported by our metal shop, which
produces structural elements such as brackets and hinges
to help us create the customized details for your cabin.
The shop can also make specialty fixtures and decorative
items, as well as plate surfaces with gold or other metals.
Our electrical shop sets up the wiring and electronics in
your aircraft, placing outlets and ports where you want
them and making it possible for you to have sophisticated
navigation, communications and entertainment systems.
The department’s broad experience with advanced systems
and its ability to work closely with other production shops
ensures that your systems will be installed in a reliable,
efficient way, allowing you to maximize space and
convenience.
At Jet Aviation Basel, you get exactly what you want.
We can even build a full-scale mock-up of your cabin to
give you a feel for the layout. We will provide you with
quality that is only possible thanks to our wide range of
specialists and their extensive experience working with
each other to create luxury in aircraft interiors.

Refurbishment
Adapting your cabin to your current style
We refurbish an aircraft that requires anything from a
minor touchup to a major refinishing. The fact that
we can take care of all your needs in-house reduces your
downtime.
We cover the whole process of refurbishment, from
interior design through installation to certification.
We integrate changes into your existing cabin in a
harmonious way, or create an entirely new layout for
your aircraft. Our design and engineering departments
can plan structural changes, and our avionics teams
can advise you on the latest developments and
regulations and then install your chosen systems.
10
Whether you are interested in making smaller changes
such as reupholstering seats, adding LED lighting or
upgrading an onboard office, or you want to change the
entire layout of your aircraft, we ensure that the results
are what you had in mind.
Jet Aviation has a reputation for meeting client wishes
and creating the design and space that clients want.
We have the skills and knowledge to exceed your
expectations and can meet even the most detailed
requests.
Painting
Giving your aircraft shine and protection
Many of Jet Aviation’s outfitting or refurbishment projects
require exterior painting as an integral part of the
performance. We therefore incorporated this line of
business more than three decades ago and have perfected
our skills continuously. At Jet Aviation Basel, all paint
work is VIP quality. We give your aircraft the same level of
quality as the automotive premium found on luxury cars.
We can do complicated airbrush work, and with the use
of printed film we can put logos, photos and illustrations
on your aircraft.
Let us give your aircraft the look you want and protect it
from corrosion. We keep your downtime as short as
possible, while providing gloss, depth and exact color.
We can paint aircraft up to the size of the Boeing 737-800
and the Airbus A320 aircraft on-site, and we supervise
the painting of larger aircraft at an external location.
Our design department works with you to develop the
look you want, which can include very elaborate designs
that require detailed craftsmanship.

Maintenance
The most thorough knowledge in the business
Jet Aviation Basel performs the full range of maintenance
activities including D-Checks; major modification
and alteration of airframes; and upgrades of cockpit and
cabin electronic systems. We do maintenance on all
current models and the majority of out-of-production
models of Gulfstream, Bombardier, Dassault Falcon,
Boeing and Airbus aircraft. Our hangars can
accommodate aircraft up to the size of a Boeing 747.
12
Our technicians receive the best available training,
followed by special type ratings by aircraft
manufacturers or leading global training centers.

OEMs and work with them to develop and improve
service bulletins. We also host OEM workshops in our
hangars that are attended by MROs from around the
world. The good reputation we have among OEMs even

Structural Modifications I Avionics Engineering
Structure and avionics to keep you
flying in comfort
In Basel, we have the engineering capacity to turn your
vision into a functional reality. Whether you are having a
“green” aircraft completed or simply upgrading elements
of an existing interior, our engineers find the most
efficient way for our production teams to implement your
designs.
In case of structural damage to your entire aircraft
fuselage, our mechanical engineering department
also has the capability to design repairs for metal or
composite structures by using design philosophy in
keeping with the aircraft manufactur’s latest data and
specifications.

solutions to all their avionics needs. Our avionics
engineers plan the integration of avionics systems as well
as the wiring that provides you with outlets and ports
where you want them.
Instrument Shop I Emergency Equipment Shop
Precision care for essential devices
We have the expertise and tools to reliably test and repair
a wide range of business jet instruments. Our instrument
shop is one of the very few in Europe that is qualified to
provide these services.
Our specialties include aircraft instruments class I, II, III
and IV, air data systems, EGPWS computers, Universal
flight management systems, and the testing, downloading
and analysis of flight/cockpit voice recorders, especially
L3Com and Honeywell.
Additionally, the Department of Transportation
requires that the cylinders be hydrostatically tested
every five years.
The cylinder inspection and testing is just one aspect
of the thorough check the life raft receives in our
shop. We also service survival equipment with just one
thing in mind – saving your life.
We also have a survival equipment shop dedicated
to making sure that your equipment functions perfectly
when you need it most and we are specialists in the
testing and repair of life rafts. One of the most important
aspects of such a check is the bottle that is the heart of
the inflation system. If the cylinder is either underweight
or overweight, servicing is mandatory.
15
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
Taking a closer look at your aircraft
Our non-destructive testing (NDT) services will help
you identify and analyze problems with your aircraft
before they put you in danger. NDT inspections are used

the forefront of establishing legislation on NDT
protocols for Switzerland. Our staff is always aware of
the newest developments in NDT technology and
regulations.

and at other Jet Aviation facilities, and we also do the
testing on site.

testing, penetrant testing, and magnetic particle testing.
