Nigeria’s Civil Aviation Authority has issued an approved maintenance organization certificate to Germany’s FAI Technik. The maintenance, repair and overhaul facility can now fully support Nigerian-registered aircraft including Bombardier Challengers and Learjet 60s; Hawkers; and Beechcraft Premier 1/1As and King Air twin turboprops. It can also handle maintenance checks up to 1C for the Gulfstream G280, G450, G500, G550, and G650/650ER.

FAI Technik has been supporting operators in Nigeria for more than a year, mainly providing aircraft-on-ground support through alliances with local Part 145 maintenance organizations. The work will be conducted at either of the company’s German bases in Nuremberg or Berlin, or facilities in Lagos and Abuja in Nigeria. At its Nuremberg headquarters, FAI has 108,000 sq ft of space across three hangars.
