Dublin, Ireland-based MRO provider Alliance Aerospace—a division of Alliance Aviation Group—has received EASA Part 145 approval from the Irish Aviation Authority. The accreditation bolsters capabilities at its 32,300-sq-ft (3,000-sq-m) FBO hangar facility at Dublin Airport (EIDW).

This announcement caps a six-month process and will allow the company to provide MRO and AOG support services from its Dublin base to general aviation customers, with an initial focus on Gulfstreams. The facility holds line maintenance approval for the G650 but plans to add ratings for the remainder of the Gulfstream fleet and business aircraft types from Bombardier and Dassault.

The Part 145 approval augments Alliance Aviation Group's portfolio of services, including CAMO support, aircraft management, aircraft charter, hangarage, ground handling, trip support services, and technical assistance.

“This approval is another milestone achievement for our ever-expanding facility in Dublin,” said Liam Murphy, Alliance Aviation Group’s FBO regional manager. “Having developed our FBO and ground handling capabilities over the last 18 months, achieving this Part 145 status permits us to expand further and position ourselves to deliver a full-service FBO package to existing and potential new clients.”
