The trouble began during maintenance. Zero-G says it delivered its Boeing 727-200 to a maintenance contractor in Dothan, Alabama, for a routine deep inspection known as a C-check on or about July 1, 2025. Days later, on or about July 6, the contractor’s workers improperly reinstalled an exhaust duct for the auxiliary power unit, the complaint says, and a later pressurization check sent extremely hot exhaust into the wheel well, causing significant structural damage to the right wing. Zero-G alleges the contractor “concealed the damage” for about nineteen days, and that it did not find out until on or about July 25. Zero-G has separately sued the contractor; that company is not a defendant in this insurance case.
