The approval (UK.145.01957), issued on 6th February 2026, confirms compliance with UK Part-145 requirements and authorizes the company to perform maintenance on components, including landing gear parts, within its approved scope of work.

The certification allows the company to work directly with UK-registered operators, removing regulatory limitations and enabling it to support a wider range of customers within its existing component maintenance portfolio.
