Mobile aircraft maintenance is essential when aircraft are grounded unexpectedly or require modifications outside of scheduled checks. ARTS Group’s Mobile Aircraft Maintenance Crew (MAMC) delivers fast, certified support directly at the aircraft’s location — anywhere in the world. Our team includes licensed aircraft mechanics, electricians, certifying staff, saddlers, and NDT inspectors, all equipped to handle complex maintenance and repair tasks in compliance with global aviation standards.
What Sets Our Mobile Aircraft Maintenance Crew Apart
Unlike traditional MRO teams or local contractors, ARTS’ MAMC is structured for fast, certified deployment and seamless on-site integration. Our crews are composed of licensed aircraft mechanics, certifying staff, electricians, NDT inspectors, and saddlers — all trained to operate under EASA regulations and OEM standards. Every assignment is executed in line with ISO 9001 and EN 9100 quality management systems.
Speed and flexibility are core strengths. Whether it’s an AOG situation or a planned structural modification, we organize logistics, tooling, and personnel with minimal lead time. This includes international mobilization, which allows us to support clients at short notice — regardless of location.
Our teams are not just technically skilled; they’re operationally integrated. We work directly within the client’s existing processes, whether at an airline’s base, an OEM’s assembly line, or in a third-party maintenance facility. Communication is clear and efficient: our crews operate in English, the industry’s technical standard, and are trained to align with customer documentation and compliance procedures.
In short: ARTS Group’s mobile aircraft maintenance crew offers certified aviation expertise, global mobility, and embedded operational support — not just manpower. That’s what makes the difference.
Some Of Our Mobile Aircraft Maintenance Crew's Assignments
On-Site Troubleshooting in Nepal: ATR42-300 for Buddha Air
A recent deployment took our team to Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu. A Buddha Air ATR42-300 had stalled without a clear cause and needed urgent support. Despite multiple rounds of diagnostics, the electrical issue couldn’t be pinpointed immediately. Our mobile aircraft maintenance team began a systematic replacement of suspected components. After nearly a week of detailed checks, the fault was located and resolved. A successful flight test followed, and the aircraft returned to service.
This project highlights how certified teams with international mobility can reduce aircraft downtime — even under challenging conditions.
Airbus A380 Door Modifications: Certified Structural Work During C-Checks
At Elbe Flugzeugwerke Dresden, our MAMC supported structural modifications on Airbus A380 aircraft for Lufthansa and Air France. The task: reinforce 16 passenger doors as part of scheduled C-checks.
Each door was removed and placed in a jig. Our team disassembled the components, removed insulation and hardware, and then conducted high-frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspections — performed by our certified NDT8 inspectors. Once cleared, structural reinforcements were cold-formed and installed in full compliance with OEM and regulatory requirements.
This type of on-site structural modification requires deep technical expertise and certified processes. ARTS Group delivered both.
A380 Seat Refurbishment for EFW and Qantas: Focused Execution in Cabin Modification
As part of an MRO aviation project for Elbe Flugzeugwerke (EFW) and Qantas, ARTS’ Mobile Aircraft Maintenance Crew (MAMC) took over specific cabin refurbishment tasks on an Airbus A380 to accelerate progress during maintenance downtime. The customer outsourced these sub-processes to ARTS Group to increase efficiency and reduce on-site workload.
Our scope included the removal and refurbishment of economy class seats, replacement of carpets on both decks, and installation of new raceways. A 15-person team with diverse technical backgrounds — including aircraft mechanics, electricians, metalworkers, painters, and interior specialists — was deployed. All personnel received targeted training to meet the high procedural and quality standards of EFW and Qantas.
Seat refurbishment was performed at an ARTS Group facility. Work involved replacing upholstery, repairing connectors, and documenting defects for client approval. This approach ensured transparency and avoided unnecessary delays.
In parallel, the Carpet Team removed worn flooring materials. On the upper deck, new carpets were cut in our Carpet Shop based on customer drawings. For the main deck, pre-fabricated kits were adjusted as needed during installation. Quality checks were performed before delivery to prevent rework on the aircraft.
Raceways — the floor-mounted cable ducts — were replaced according to technical specifications to ensure safe and efficient cable routing.
Clear communication and technical accuracy were critical. All drawings were in English, and the multinational team (from Germany, England, and Poland) used English as the working language. Work packages were defined in advance via a Finding List to streamline execution.
This project reflects ARTS Group’s ability to integrate seamlessly into larger maintenance programs while delivering certified, high-precision work — on time and in compliance with all aviation standards.
NDT for Prototypes: Structural Testing for Pilatus PC-24 and Airbus A220
For iABG, our mobile aircraft maintenance crew supported the structural inspection of prototype aircraft. Before testing began, our mechanics disassembled the wings and fuselage sections. We then conducted non-destructive testing (NDT) using eddy current and ultrasonic methods to identify cracks and material defects.
Even microscopic flaws were detected, measured, and documented. The project was completed in just 3.5 months — on time and without compromise. Delivering this level of precision under pressure speaks to the technical and organizational strength of the ARTS MAMC.
Certified, Scalable, Mobile
Compliance and quality are non-negotiable in aircraft maintenance — especially when work is carried out directly at customer locations. ARTS Group ensures both through structured processes, certified standards, and experienced personnel.
All mobile maintenance activities are performed in accordance with EN 9100 and ISO 9001 quality management standards, which are globally recognized in the aerospace industry. These certifications ensure that every task — from seat refurbishment to structural modifications — follows documented procedures, traceable workflows, and consistent quality checks.
Before deployment, all team members receive role-specific briefings and training tailored to the project requirements. This includes instruction on applicable OEM documentation, aircraft-specific procedures, and regulatory guidelines. For highly specialized tasks such as Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), only certified inspectors are assigned — ensuring that inspections meet both client expectations and statutory requirements.
On site, quality assurance is integrated into daily operations. Our teams work with predefined checklists, customer-aligned documentation standards, and clear project scopes. Deviations or findings are recorded in real-time and communicated transparently to the client. This reduces the risk of rework and ensures that every step is verifiable.
Additionally, ARTS Group offers claims handling, measurement system support, and 8D report consulting as part of its Aerospace Quality Support services. These capabilities help resolve quality deviations sustainably and improve long-term process reliability.
Whether it’s a rapid AOG deployment or a multi-week modification project, our teams maintain full compliance with aviation authority regulations and client-specific quality protocols — on site, every time.
