German MRO service provider, FAI Technik GmbH (FAI Technik), a wholly owned subsidiary of FAI Aviation Group Holding, has announced that it has received an Approved Maintenance Organisation (AMO) certificate from the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA). This certification enables FAI to conduct a range of maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) tasks on Nigerian-registered business aviation aircraft globally.
The scope of this new certification covers all aircraft supported by FAI Technik, including Bombardier Challenger BD-100, CL-600 series, BD-700-series and Learjet 60 aircraft. It also encompasses the full range of Hawker HS125 series, Beechcraft Premier 1/1A, and King Air series, as well as line maintenance checks up to 1C for Gulfstream models, including G280, G450, G500, G550, G650, and G650ER.
The company has been active in Nigeria for over a year, primarily providing AOG (aircraft on ground) support through partnerships with local Part-145 maintenance organisations. Following this approval, the MRO is now authorised to release Nigerian-registered aircraft under the FAI Technik brand. Maintenance can be carried out either at FAI’s Nuremberg (NUE) and Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) locations, or locally at facilities in Lagos and Abuja, Nigeria. It is expected that larger maintenance projects will be primarily scheduled at the Nuremberg facility.
Michael Axtmann, Managing Director of FAI Technik, commented: “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.”
