May 26, 2010 9:42 AM

At the Moscow Vnukovo airport, where the company has operated since late 2007 as a branch of Jet Aviation Dusseldorf, the necessary steps have been competed this year by Jet Aviation to operate as a fully independent Russian legal entity. The company now provides maintenance services under its own EASA 145 approval, allowing the firm to better meet the needs of its clients in the Russian market.

“The EASA 145 maintenance approval gives us greater flexibility to tailor our portfolio of aircraft services to better match our customer fleet profile and requirements,” said Ian Ludlow, Managing Director, Jet Aviation Moscow Vnukovo.

Jet Aviation Moscow Vnukovo at Vnukovo International Airport provides 24/7 technical maintenance services, including line maintenance, defect rectification and AOG services, to Bombardier, Gulfstream, Embraer and Hawker aircraft operators. As part of Jet Aviation’s global MRO network, the company supports AOG requirements in the Russian region. Jet Aviation Moscow Vnukovo is a line maintenance, AOG and authorized warranty line service facility for Bombardier Challenger and Global Express as well as an authorized line service facility for the full line of Gulfstream jets. Located next to the Vnukovo 3 FBO, the facility currently holds maintenance approvals from EASA #145.0472, Aruba DCA and Bermuda DCA.
