FAI Technik secures Nigerian AMO approval

German MRO service provider FAI Technik GmbH announced that it has obtained an Approved Maintenance Organisation (AMO) certificate from the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).

“We are delighted to receive this latest important approval from the Nigerian CAA. FAI Technik is witnessing strong demand for maintenance support in Nigeria and across Africa. We look forward to further strengthening our relationships in Nigeria and expanding our customer base. Our commitment to expanding our presence in this market remains unwavering,” said Michael Axtmann, managing director, FAI Technik.

This achievement empowers FAI Technik to offer a comprehensive range of maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services for Nigerian-registered business aviation aircraft worldwide.

The newly-acquired AMO approval extends to FAI Technik’s supported aircraft types, including Bombardier Challenger, Hawker, Beechcraft, and Gulfstream models. The company’s services encompass maintenance checks up to 1C for Gulfstream models, ensuring comprehensive support for a diverse fleet of business jets.

FAI Technik has been actively involved in the Nigerian aviation market for over a year, providing AOG support through collaborations with local maintenance organisations. With the AMO approval in place, FAI Technik is now authorised to release Nigerian-registered aircraft under its own brand. This will be facilitated at its facilities in Nuremberg (NUE) and Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER), as well as through local partnerships in Lagos and Abuja, Nigeria. Larger maintenance projects are expected to be primarily scheduled at the Nuremberg location.

This AMO approval underscores FAI Technik’s dedication to providing high-quality MRO services to the Nigerian aviation industry. As the company continues to grow its footprint in the region, it aims to become a trusted partner for operators seeking reliable and efficient maintenance solutions.
