The EASA issued Part 145 approval to Excellence Aviation at its new location at London Oxford Airport. The signoff allows the MRO to offer maintenance for European-registered Bombardier Challengers and Global Expresses and to respond to AOG events.

Founded 15 years ago, the independently owned business supports the Challenger 601, 604, 605 and 850 and is in the planning stages of adding Challenger 300 and 350 capability. Additionally, Excellence has been working on Global Express classic, Global Express XRS and Global Vision since 2000 and has also been certified to support the Global Express/XRS and Global 6000VFD at Oxford. 

Excellence also covers small scheduled maintenance tasks, including defect rectifications, and can order parts for customers, as well as store and keep up maintenance records and carry out Service Bulletins and Airworthiness Directives. Completion and pre-buy oversights are offered on request. The new facility has a team of two certifying engineers, a mechanic and one administrator.
