Fort Lauderdale, FL, January 29, 2015 – Premier Aircraft Services, the maintenance arm of Premier Aircraft Sales, Inc., announced today that the company has earned its Part-145 maintenance approval from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
“This is a major accomplishment for our maintenance group and our customers,” stated David Pomerance, COO, Premier Aircraft Sales, Inc. “Because of the scope of the bilateral agreement between the FAA and EASA, we can now provide all the same services for EASA-registered aircraft that we now do for U.S.-registered aircraft.”
Pomerance said that while the EASA approval is a huge benefit to transient aircraft visiting Premier’s Fort Lauderdale location, the approval will have its biggest impact on European-based customers interested in Premier’s recently announced Premier Edition 172 diesel engine upgrade program.
“We have had a great deal of interest from individuals and flight school operators throughout Europe and this EASA approval will allow us to do the engine change and other modifications and return these EASA-registered aircraft to service,” he said. “We can do all the work here and the owners will know their aircraft will be fully-compliant when they get it back to their home airport.”
