RGV Aviation Joins TBM Service Center Network

Daher-Socata named RGV Aviation, an EASA Part 145 maintenance organization and FAA repair station at Gloucestershire Airport (pronounced Gloster-shuh) in the UK, an approved TBM service center. “RGV becomes an important element of our network, serving customers in a region where we expect strong market development for the TBM, especially the TBM 900,” said Nicolas Chabbert, senior vice president of Daher-Socata’s airplane business unit. “I am confident this is the first step for a growing business and collaboration between our two companies.”

As an approved service center, RGV offers services such as regular maintenance, major inspections, avionics installations, structural modifications and repairs and full respray facilities, among others. Founded in 1973 by Ralph Vincent at Gloucestershire Airport, the company has grown to become one of the largest general aviation aircraft maintenance providers in the UK.
