GainJet Ireland has won EASA Part M subpart I approval from the Irish Aviation Authority, authorizing it to issue and extend airworthiness review certificates for aircraft models within its scope of approval, the Shannon, Ireland-based Continuous Airworthiness Management Organization (CAMO) said Thursday.

The approval covers the Gulfstream G550 and G650; Hawker 800 series; Bombardier Challenger 604 and Global 5000; Cessna Citation X; and Embraer Legacy 600 and Lineage 1000.

“This additional company approval has expanded our CAMO capability and services for both the GainJet Ireland fleet and our customers,” said GainJet Ireland accountable manager Ray Mills. “We are marketing our services to other operators and owners as our new approval will also allow us to issue ARC recommendations to the Irish Aviation Authority.”  

GainJet Ireland remains in the process of a company expansion and plans to open an office in Dublin before year-end. The company has expanded its services from aircraft management to providing demonstration, delivery, and maintenance check flights primarily to satisfy the growing needs of lessors. â€śIreland is a global leader in aircraft financing and leasing,” noted Mills.

Separately, the Irish Aviation Authority recently granted GainJet Ireland a commercial operators drone license.
