TAG Aviation has secured approval from the Bermuda Civil Aviation Authority for its maintenance bases in Hong Kong, Macau, and Subang in Malaysia. The new authorizations announced on Wednesday cover work on Bermuda-registered aircraft, including Bombardier’s Global Express 5000/6000/6500/7500 jets, as well as Dassault’s Falcon 7X and 8X models, and the Gulfstream G450/550/600/650.
According to the Europe-based TAG group, it has seen increased demand from Asian aircraft owners to support equipment registered in Bermuda. “We’ve noticed an uptick in transit traffic and upcoming aircraft deliveries in Asia among Bermuda-registered operators,” said Phil Balmer, TAG Aviation’s director of maintenance. “Obtaining this approval demonstrates our commitment to adapt our services based on changing customer needs in the marketplace.”
TAG Aviation’s facilities in Hong Kong and Macau are already authorized service centers for Bombardier and Dassault. The company provides maintenance support under EASA and Hong Kong Part 145 certifications in these locations. Around the world, it employs 500 staff, including those stationed at other bases in the UK, Switzerland, Malta, Singapore, Bahrain, and Beijing.
