Atlas Air Service in Germany has received EASA approval for a new business unit that will perform maintenance, repair, and overhaul of aircraft parts that include hatches, flaps, flight controls, and structural components for any aircraft type. “We will consistently add further components to our capability list upon customer request,” said Atlas Air Service technical director Gregor Bremer. “It´s our goal to become a global spare parts supplier for overhauled aircraft components.”

The parts repair and overhaul business builds upon Atlas’s other business aviation units comprising aircraft sales, brokerage, MRO, non-destructive testing (NDT), aircraft management, and charter. An authorized service center for Embraer Executive Jets, Williams International, and Honeywell Aerospace, the 250-employee company with four locations stood up its parts repair and overhaul business in six months from its facility in Ganderkesee, Lower Saxony.

That facility offers a shop floor of more than 1,000 sq m, as well as NDT and paint shops and a warehouse.
