ExecuJet MRO Services Renews FAA and African Approvals

ExecuJet MRO Services South Africa has renewed its approvals with the FAA and multiple African aviation authorities. In addition to being approved to support U.S.-registered aircraft, the Dassault Aviation subsidiary said the renewed maintenance, repair and overhaul certifications also cover Angola, Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, and South Africa.

The company’s MRO facility at Johannesburg Lanseria International Airport (FALA) recently underwent extensive regulatory audits. These assessed the traceability of its maintenance records, as well as the engineering qualifications and certifications of its personnel, and quality control systems to ensure full compliance with international standards.

According to ExecuJet MRO Services, Africa’s business aviation sector is growing rapidly and there are now more than 400 aircraft based across the continent. It claims it holds the widest set of regulatory accreditations of any maintenance provider in Africa and hangar capacity for 14 aircraft. It also has a new paint booth for components.

“Maintaining these approvals is more than a compliance requirement. It demonstrates our technical capability and the trust we have earned from regulators across Africa,” said Vince Goncalves, ExecuJet MRO Services regional v-p for Africa. “We are witnessing notable growth with new aircraft entering service, and international charter operators positioning fleets in the region to meet rising demand. This underscores the continent’s growing importance in the global business aviation landscape.”
