Entebbe, Uganda-based Air Serv announced two of the MRO’s aircraft mechanics, Tonny Eyenga and John Bursula, earned their Category C aircraft maintenance engineers licenses, while aircraft maintenance technicians Ronnie Batte and Edward Muyanja added PT6 engine ratings to their existing licenses. 

“I believe we have more licensed aircraft engineers than any other general aviation operation in East Africa,” said Paul Ogwang, director of maintenance, “and we all consistently strive to improve. When it comes to safety, there is no room for complacency.”

Air Serv engineers maintain the organization’s fleet of six Cessna Caravans, which operate throughout East and Central Africa, often in conflict zones. The company specializes in “last mile” air transportation in support of humanitarian programs and provides commercial air charter, facility and aircraft maintenance services.
