Honeywell CUSTOMER SUCCESS STORY Ovation Select® cabin management system rises to the top in drive for excellence AMAC Aerospace enjoys the fruits of long term partnership with Honeywell Overview 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. Background 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 widebodied aircraft simultaneously. AMAC’s flagship 8,200m2 hangar is its global maintenance centre for privately-owned and operated wide bodied executive jets.
