Jet Aviation Singapore has received a repair station certificate from India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), allowing the facility to perform line and base maintenance—as well as interior modifications, refurbishments and upgrades—on India-registered business aircraft. This includes the Bombardier Challenger 300 and 600 and Global Express, in addition to the Learjet 31, 35, 36, 45 and 60 series. This approval adds to the company’s DGCA approvals already in place in Dubai, Geneva and Basel.
Last year, Jet Aviation Singapore also received Part 145 CAAC maintenance approval from China, permitting the company to support Chinese operators of Bombardier and Gulfstream jets. The Singapore branch of the Swiss-based business aviation conglomerate also received FAA approval for interior work on the Gulfstream G650. In November, the company received the Asian Business Aviation Association’s (AsBAA) Best Maintenance & Repair Services Industry Award.
“We have expanded our Singapore facility in response to increasing demand in the region and this approval demonstrates our ability to offer increased capabilities, such as heavy maintenance, modifications, refurbishments and upgrades, as a convenient regional solution for owners and operators from India,” said John Riggir, v-p and general manager at Jet Aviation Singapore.
