Alliance Aerospace, as part of the Alliance Aviation Group, has been awarded EASA Part 145 approval from the Irish Aviation Authority. The accreditation bolsters capabilities at the company’s 3,000m² FBO hangar facility located at Westlands Apron, Dublin Airport (EIDW), Ireland.
The process of approval was completed within six months. With assistance from the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA), Alliance Aerospace was able to establish the required procedures, equipment and personnel required to attain the approval. It can now provide MRO/AOG support services from its Dublin base to general aviation (GA) customers.
Initially targeting the Gulfstream family of aircraft, this EASA Part 145 approval augments Alliance Aviation Group’s portfolio of services, which includes CAMO support, aircraft management, aircraft charter, hangarage, ground handling and trip support services, plus technical assistance.
“We are delighted to achieve this Part 145 approval which usefully extends our range of capabilities to our base clients,” said Brendan McQuaid, CEO, Alliance Aviation Group. “It enables us to expand our offering to other GA customers also from our base here in Dublin. I am most grateful to our stellar team at Alliance Aerospace who worked so hard to achieve this approval.”
“This latest approval will strengthen and enhance Alliance Aerospace’s services from our facility in Dublin,” said Mick Conlon, technical director at Alliance Aerospace. “In attaining this we have become the first engineering business here to offer line maintenance on Gulfstream type aircraft. Whilst we are currently Gulfstream G650 approved, we are planning to add additional Gulfstream, Bombardier and Dassault Falcon type ratings to our approvals in the near future. We look forward to offering first-class, quick and efficient scheduled and unscheduled line maintenance support to all our customers.”
“This approval is another milestone achievement for our ever-expanding facility in Dublin,” said Liam Murphy, FBO regional manager, Alliance Aviation Group. “Having developed our FBO and ground handling capabilities over the last 18 months, achieving this Part 145 status permits us to expand further and position ourselves to deliver a full service FBO package to existing and potential new clients.”
Alliance Aviation Group offers a range of specialist services in both domestic and international ground handling locations, maintenance, and aircraft management.
