Causeway Aero has opened a brand new 7,000 ft² production facility in Sligo in the northwest of the Republic of Ireland, and is currently in the advanced stages of receiving EASA Part-21G approval from the Irish Aviation Authority.
As the Lisburn facility is now outside EASA and approved by the U.K. Civil Aviation Authority, it also means that Causeway will be one of the few aerospace companies able to deliver against alternative approvals and Form 1, offering maximum flexibility for customers. In addition to having a readily available skilled workforce, the strategic location is just a two-hour drive from the company’s headquarters in Lisburn, Northern Ireland, from the aircraft leasing community in Dublin, and from the MRO cluster in Shannon.
Part of the new facility has been taken over by Inter-Tec Aero, a new part of Inter-Tec Group, a long-term partner of Causeway that has used its EASA Part-21J Design Organisation Approval to assist with a number of interior and seat projects.
