QT Aerospace has officially received the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Part-145 Repair Station certification, marking the next step in expanding its international maintenance, repair, and overhaul operations. This new certification complements the company’s existing Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Part-145 credentials (ST1R492K), enabling it to fully service European-registered aircraft and components directly from its Dallas, Texas base.

With the EASA approval now in hand, QT Aerospace gains vital access to the European aviation market. The certification brings its services into full alignment with FAA requirements, reinforcing the company’s ability to deliver compliant, cross-border MRO solutions. Clients operating European-registered aircraft can now benefit from QT Aerospace’s advanced composite and structural repair services, which cover flight control surfaces, engine inlets, cowls, and thrust reversers. The company also offers emergency “quick-turn” services designed to minimise aircraft downtime.

QT Aerospace’s facility in Dallas is strategically placed to support global operations. With the capacity for round-the-clock aircraft on ground (AOG) services, it is fully equipped to respond rapidly and dispatch components or teams globally, enhancing turnaround times for international customers.

QT Aerospace, headquartered in Dallas, is highly regarded in the aviation sector for its expertise in airframe composite repair. With a focus on excellence, safety, and innovation, the company continues to raise the bar in providing high-quality MRO solutions across a growing international client base.
