MRO provider Summit Aviation has received its EASA Part 145 maintenance organization certificate, the Greenwich AeroGroup company announced today. The approval allows the Middletown, Delaware-based provider to perform maintenance services on aircraft registered in the European Union (EU). For Summit, that would include rotorcraft and corporate and foreign military aircraft.
“We are excited to add EASA certification to our current list of accreditations,” said Summit v-p and general manager Ralph Kunz. “It permits us the opportunity to provide services for EU member customer aircraft that we have been unable to in the past.”
An FAA-certified repair station since 1966, Summit offers aircraft maintenance, modifications, avionics, engines, mission equipment integration, paint, FBO services, sales and leasing, field training, flight testing support, and parts sales. It is a factory-authorized service center for Bell, Blackhawk, Cessna, Raisbeck, and Sikorsky, and is a Department of Defense-approved contractor.
