Challenge
Nova Systems was approached by an aircraft leasing company after they received a Boeing 737-800 from a previous lessee during the end of lease.
Solution
The aircraft were originally in 2-class configuration and interior changes had to be made to accommodate an all-economy 189-passenger layout. We helped the client identified the parts required at the start of the project and supply these parts to support this modification. Our engineers designed a flexible engineering solution that maximised modification commonality across the affected aircraft and yet leave room for customisation due to subsequent operators’ preferences. This helped to maximise the marketability of the aircraft.
Outcome
Nova Systems provided a comprehensive turn-key solution that included:
Design and certification of the new 189-passenger cabin configuration with full 25.562 compliance under EASA STC and FAA approval.
Management of all modification related parts including passenger seats, interior parts, windscreens and associated consumables, including shipping logistics to different MROs.
On-demand support to aircraft leasing company.
We worked closely with our client to enable the successful lease transition of the aircraft to two new operators.
