You’re used to taking your own decisions – so why not ab- out flight times and destinations, too? Not being limited by the flight plans of major airlines gives you some extra time with your customers, business partners or branch offices.

A business jet is a tool that can measurably increase the effi- ciency and productivity of a company. Firms use aircraft as a means of transport, not just for executives but also sales staff and technicians, as well as to carry urgently needed spare parts. Athletes and artists often use business jets, too, due to their busy schedules.

Atlas Air Service has ten business jets in its flight operations. Our fleet is made up exclusively of modern aircraft from the manufacturers Cessna and Embraer.

30 / 31 NDT NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING

Atlas Air Service has extensive authorisations and certifications to perform non-destructive testing in the aerospace industry.

32 / 33 We test without destroying

By using Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), parts can be tested for cracks and other defects without destroying.

Our NDT portfolio includes testing methods such as ultrasonic, eddy current, radiographic, penetrant and magnetic particle testing. The method used depends on the material, component and purpose of the examination.

All NDT testing methods can be used by Atlas Air Service in our own workshops and as a mobile service on the client’s premi- ses. Our 24-hour on-call service is your guarantee for global deployment at short notice.

Our technicians are highly qualified and have experience in testing aircraft from various manufacturers such as Airbus, Boeing, Cessna, Bombardier, Dassault, Embraer and Hawker Beechcraft.

Atlas Air Service has the globally recognised NADCAP certification for penetrant testing that authorises us to test components for aviation parts suppliers and aircraft manufacturers such as Airbus. Thanks to our authorisation for five testing methods, we can carry out mobile and stationary tests for the aerospace industry.
