The problem started during maintenance. Zero-G says it has handed over its Boeing 727-200s to a maintenance contractor in Dothan, Alabama, for a routine thorough inspection, known as C-Check, on July 1, 2025. The complaint states that a few days later, on or about July 6, contractor crews improperly reinstalled an exhaust duct for the auxiliary power unit, and a subsequent pressure check sent extremely hot exhaust into the wheel well, causing significant structural damage to the right wing. Zero-G alleges that the contractor “concealed the damage” for approximately nineteen days, and did not learn of it until July 25. Zero-G has sued the contractor separately; That company is not a defendant in this insurance case.
