The UAE’s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) has expanded Falcon Technic’s authorized maintenance organization (AMO) approval to cover line support for Dassault’s Falcon 900EX EASy. On Friday, the Dubai-based group announced the approval as part of a longer-term plan to expand its maintenance, repair, and overhaul capabilities.
On Tuesday, the GCAA further amended Falcon's AMO to include clearance to maintain Lead-Acid and Ni-Cad batteries and emergency locator transmitters. According to the company, these C5 and C6 component ratings expand its in-house capability and will allow it to deliver faster service to operators and with a higher degree of quality control.
Before the end of 2025, Falcon Technic aims to secure authority to perform base maintenance, including 24-month inspections, for Bombardier’s Challenger 604 and 605 aircraft, as well as for the Embraer ERJ 145. It is also seeking approval for base maintenance, with 120-month checks, on Bombardier Global Express jets.
The company’s CAR 145 license already covers line maintenance for the Global Express, Challengers, and Embraer Legacy aircraft operated in the charter market under its Falcon Luxe brand. It is now seeking line maintenance approval for the Challenger 850 and Gulfstream G550 models.
Investments by the group, which now employs 80 technicians and engineers, cover plans to add shops for non-destructive testing, structural and component work, and wheel repairs. Falcon is based at Dubai's Al Maktoum International Airport (OMDW).
Falcon has applied to the GCAA to become a Part 21J design organization to handle minor modifications to aircraft. In September, it intends to apply for a Part 21G production organization license, followed by applications for the same approvals to EASA in the fourth quarter of this year.
