The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) granted Part 145 maintenance facility approval to Jet Aviation Singapore. The designation expands the company's maintenance, repair and overhaul capabilities to support Chinese operators of Bombardier and Gulfstream aircraft.
For Gulfstreams, the scope of permissible work is to the largest possible checks on the GV (192 months) andGIV (144 months).

The authorization also extends to Bombardier Global Express series up to 20-year inspections and Challenger 604/605s up to 24-year inspections. In addition, interior services and approved outsourcing for paint are allowed.

"This approval marks the start of a new era of Gulfstream support solutions for operators in the region and we look forward to working closely with them…to provide the highest service levels possible."
