Recently, Ameco finished cabin layout modifications on ten Airbus A330-200s of Air China to cater for the operational requirements in different routes.
Starting from last September, Ameco in its Beijing facility carried out the work in aircraft scheduled C-check layover. After modification, the aircraft can be quickly converted from different cabin layout to meet the market needs for business and economic class. Meanwhile, Ameco also modified entertainment systems, seat powering systems and passenger services systems during the layover. By optimizing working process, the modification turn-around time for each aircraft has been shortened to seven days.
