Tuesday 26th November 2024

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 its 3000m2 FBO Hangar facility located at Westlands Apron, Dublin Airport (EIDW), Ireland.

The process of approval was completed within six months. With helpful 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 customers.

Initially targeting the Gulfstream family of aircraft, this EASA Part 145 approval augments Alliance Aviation Group's extensive portfolio of services, which includes CAMO support, aircraft management, aircraft charter, hangarage, ground handling and trip support services, plus technical assistance, all whilst operating to the highest quality safety standards.

Brendan McQuaid, Alliance Aviation Group CEO commented: “We are delighted to achieve this Part 145 approval which usefully extends our range of capabilities to our base clients. 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.”

Mick Conlon, Technical Director Alliance Aerospace, commented: "This latest approval will strengthen and enhance Alliance Aerospace's services from our facility in Dublin. 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.”

Liam Murphy, FBO Regional Manager Alliance Aviation Group, stated: “This approval is another milestone achievement for our ever-expanding facility in Dublin. 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.”
