Fokker Aircraft Services Adds Interior Re-Skinning

Services Provided For MRO, Completions And Conversions

Netherlands-based Fokker Aircraft Services (FAS) has recently introduced re-skinning to its maintenance, repair and overhaul capabilities. The company is now one of only a few MRO providers in Europe able to offer this important service. A brand-new vacuum applicator was installed in FAS’ interior shop last year, enabling Fokker Aircraft Services to easily re-skin the side panels, luggage bins and ceiling panels of aircraft interiors, no matter the size or aircraft type. Any print of certified material can be applied.

“Re-skinning is a much more economical solution for older aircraft than installing a complete new interior,” explains Robert Koolen, Fokker Aircraft Services Sales Manager, Airframe MRO. “With so many cost-conscious operators actively seeking ways to prolong the life of their investment, they quickly recognize that re-skinning offers an easy, effective and affordable alternative.”

The vacuum applicator is also being used to facilitate Fokker Aircraft Services’ VIP completions activities in its Aircraft Conversions and Completion Centre, and is part of the company’s overall strategy to increase its backshop capabilities and enhance its 'one-stop-shop' philosophy.

Because the machine is not type-specific, it is already being used at FAS to refurbish Fokker 100s and F28s, as well as Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier and Embraer aircraft.
