Aftermarket parts manufacturer Ontic has opened a dedicated MRO facility in Tewkesbury, UK, to support aircraft operators worldwide. Ontic specializes in manufacturing and repairing parts and components under license to the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), and it is the holder of proprietary data, tooling, and test equipment so it can perform repairs that meet OEM standards.

At the 72,000-sq-ft Tewkesbury facility, Ontic employs 200 engineers, technicians, customer service representatives, and supply-chain and logistics experts. The facility includes dedicated IT systems, pneumatic and hydraulic infrastructure, an avionics shop and clean room meeting ISO7 standards, nondestructive testing equipment and qualification, a machine shop, and a darkroom. The facility holds UK CAA and EASA Part 145 approvals, including FAA under CAA oversight, and BSI AS9100 quality system certification. China CAAC approval is expected in the fourth quarter this year.
