Markets
Airlines
The external appearance of an aircraft can undoubtedly influence the way that passengers feel about flying with the airline. The application of aircraft color schemes is a demanding task, to be undertaken only by highly trained operators using the best materials and equipment. It must be done efficiently to minimize the time that the aircraft is out of service, cost effectively and always with full regards for the safety of the aircraft.
Complete aircraft exterior preparation can include stripping to bare metal or heavy sanding, resealing of all production joints, corrosion removal and treatment, composite repairs and complete aircraft repainting. Satys Aftermarket is fully conversant with the latest products and technology, CAD graphics and decal design, manufacture and application.
Corporate/VIP
From the moment your aircraft arrives, Satys Aftermarket treats each project individually from preparation, through repainting, to delivery. Every Satys Aftermarket re-painting project is studied in detail, in consultation with the customer, relating the desired color scheme to the aircraft to which it is applied. We offer a tailor made package to suit your requirements, whether it is just a change of color or a complete corporate image. The repainting of aircraft is a complicated and skilled process requiring trained operators and the best equipment; we, at Satys Aftermarket, have both.
