Tulsa, Oklahoma-based Omni Aircraft Maintenance has earned an FAA Part 145 repair station certificate allowing the MRO to provide heavy maintenance on Learjet 40, 45, and 75-series aircraft.
“We’ve been doing all of the inspections, maintenance, and upgrades to support our sister company, Omni Air Transport’s Learjet fleet,&nbsp;for over 40 years,” explained Omni Aircraft Maintenance president Caleb Benner. “Because of our network, we’ve gotten a lot of requests from other operators to work on their Lears. Now, with the Part 145 certificate, we can support all of these operators and provide everything from inspections to upgrades to heavy maintenance.”
Benner added the MRO is adding Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum capabilities along with other aircraft—such as Gulfstreams, King Airs, and Citations—to its Part 145 certificate.
In addition to the repair station certificate, Benner explained that the company is fielding a new AOG mobile truck in Las Vegas, complementing its mobile service locations in Tulsa, Oklahoma; Atlanta, and Lubbock, Texas.
“Our AOG trucks also operate under our 145 certificate. However, the mobile units can do all types of inspections and maintenance on most popular turboprops and jets,” he said. “We have all the tooling on the trucks to do pretty much any kind of AOG repair wherever the customer’s aircraft is.”
