FL Technics has received approval from the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to begin providing MRO services for US carriers at its new facility in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.
The FAA issued the Part 145 Repair Station Certificate after a detailed, multi-stage review of the hangar, which is located in the Free Trade Zone next to Punta Cana International Airport.
The new facility gives FL Technics direct access to North American air traffic routes and strong links to key US East Coast aviation centres. The Punta Cana site spans 20,000 square metres and is equipped to provide base maintenance for both older and newer aircraft models, including Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 aircraft.
FL Technics is also building a local workforce in Punta Cana, supported by experienced specialists from its international network. At launch, local employees will work alongside aviation experts transferred from other company sites, bringing advanced technical skills and proven working practices to the new hangar.
Ongoing training and on-site mentoring will help employees maintain high safety and quality standards as operations begin.
