The extension of the contract was finalized at the 2022 edition of EBACE in Geneva. Based in Oberpfaffenhofen, GA-ATS has served as an Embraer authorized service center since 2010. This successful cooperation will now be continued over the next three years.

GA-ATS offers line maintenance as well as base maintenance for the Embraer Legacy 600, Legacy 650, and Lineage 1000 series of super-midsize jets and bizliners. In addition to MRO, GA-ATS produces and maintains the Dornier 228. The company is a subsidiary of General Atomics Europe.
