AerFin has announced the expansion of its Part 145 , CAA, and FAA certification, significantly enhancing its Engine Lite maintenance capabilities for CFM56-5B and CFM56-7B engines.

The expanded capabilities now include comprehensive changes for the Low Pressure Turbine (LPT) module, as well as the No.4 and No.5 bearings. Additionally, the certification covers an extended range of fan, booster, and top case activities. These enhancements further augment 's existing Engine MRO Lite services, which include engine disassembly and quick-turn maintenance services.

Simon Bayliss, Chief Operating Officer AerFin, remarked: “This capability enhancement marks a major milestone in the development of our MRO services, allowing us to address the capacity challenges that many of our key customers are currently facing. This significant advancement enables us to provide a more sophisticated range of services to our customers precisely when they need them.”

As previously announced, AerFin will be expanding its Engine MRO Lite capacity later this year, increasing to up to 200 quick-turn shop visits annually. The company is also set to boost its UK storage capacity by one-third when it relocates to its new at St. Modwen's Park, Newport.

Earlier this year, AerFin announced that it had signed a ten-year lease agreement with St. Modwen Logistics, one of the UK's leading logistics developers and managers, for a new 115,000 ft² facility at St. Modwen Park, Newport. This facility will serve as the company's global headquarters from the end of 2024.

The custom-built space will accommodate enhanced aftermarket services, including engine disassembly, maintenance, repair, and overhaul operations, alongside traditional warehousing and logistics functions. This agreement will double AerFin's engine MRO capacity to approximately 200 quick-turn shop visits per year and expand its UK storage capacity by one-third.
