TAG completes milestone Challenger check at Farnborough
Despite what it describes as a competitive environment, TAG's maintenance division has been performing well. Recently it became the first to complete a 48-month base check on a Challenger 350.
TAG Aviation Farnborough Maintenance Services has completed 100,000 hours of maintenance works this year.

TAG Aviation Farnborough Maintenance Services (TFMS) has completed one of the world's first 48-month base checks on a Bombardier CL350 aircraft. The comprehensive maintenance check, undertaken at the company's Bombardier approved service centre, included a complete cabin removal and refit.

TFMS recently marked the 15th year of maintenance services operations from its base at Farnborough.

“Our aim is to be the most flexible and customer-focused European line and base station support services centre, not necessarily the biggest,” says Cyrille Pillet, TFMS managing director and VP maintenance operations, TAG Aviation Europe. “We pride ourselves on developing lasting relationships, which are based on mutual trust and flexibility, and to meeting maintenance programme deliveries on time for each one of our valued customers; their perception is our reality!”

All line and base maintenance stations operated by TAG Aviation Maintenance Services are Bombardier approved service facilities and Dassault approved service centres. The TAG Farnborough location boasts a dedicated line operation facility that annually provides maintenance support to over 1,600 aircraft. In the past few years TFMS has performed more than 60 heavy maintenance checks ranging from 48-month to 120-month inputs on Bombardier Challenger and Global Express aircraft.
