FAI Technik, receives the AMO certificate from Toks Fadairo, Aviation Safety Inspector, NCAA.
German MRO service provider FAI Technik GmbH, a 100% subsidiary of FAI Aviation Group Holding, announces that it has received an Approved Maintenance Organisation certificate (AMO) from the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA). This approval means that FAI can now undertake a range of maintenance, repair and overhaul tasks on Nigerian registered business aviation aircraft worldwide.
The scope of this latest approval covers all of FAI Technik’s supported aircraft, including, the Bombardier Challenger BD-100, CL-600 series, BD-700-series and Learjet 60 aircraft; the full range of Hawker HS125 series; Beechcraft Premier 1/1A and King Air series aircraft as well line maintenance checks up to 1C for Gulfstream models including G280, G450, G500, G550, G650 and G650ER.
FAI Technik has been active in Nigeria for over a year, providing mostly AOG support through collaborations with local Part-145 maintenance organisations. Following the approval, the MRO is now authorised to release Nigerian registered aircraft under the FAI Technik brand. This will be carried out at either its Nuremberg (NUE) and Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) locations or locally at locations in Lagos and Abuja, Nigeria. It is anticipated that larger maintenance projects will be scheduled primarily in Nuremberg.
Michael Axtmann, Managing Director, FAI Technik said: “We are pleased to receive this latest important approval from the Nigerian CAA. FAI Technik is experiencing strong demand for maintenance support in Nigeria and across Africa in general. We look forward to continuing to build strong relationships in Nigeria and growing our customer base. We remain committed to expanding our presence in this market.”
