BATS licensed to conduct maintenance of Boeing aircraft

Bravo Aircraft Technical Services Limited (BATS) has announced that it has recently enhanced its already impressive maintenance scope of approval with the addition of the Boeing B737 (Classic and New Generation) and B777-200/300 series aircraft.

BATS now has TM Civil Aviation Directorate approval for the conduct of line maintenance, Aircraft On Ground services and routine inspections on the Airbus A320 family (including NEO), the widely operated B737 family with CFM 56 engines, and the B777 carrying either General Electric (GE90) or Rolls Royce (RB 211 Trent 800) engines.

BATS Ltd remains the only independent EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) Part 145 Line Maintenance facility for commercial aircraft to hold Maltese approval by Transport Malta’s Civil Aviation Directorate. Widening the scope of their maintenance approval reflects the determination of the AMO to establish itself as a frontrunner in the provision of premier quality aircraft maintenance services in Malta and further afield.

Fiona Healy, Head of Business Strategy at BATS said: “BATS offers a one stop airworthiness and aircraft maintenance service to the industry, using its skilled and professional staff based both in Malta and in Ireland to ensure efficiency and low turnaround time, thereby facilitating maximum aircraft utilisation and enhanced operator profit.

“The increased scope of BATS certification, achieved under the excellent oversite and guidance of the Airworthiness Inspectorate staff of the Transport Malta Civil Aviation Directorate, strengthens our position as we can now carry out maintenance work up to Weekly Check on the Boeing types, as well as up to A-Check on the Airbus A320 family aircraft.”

BATS continues to go from strength to strength as the new aviation maintenance service provider in Malta, offering aircraft operators greater choice and scope in ensuring their aircraft are maintained cost-effectively, professionally and with confidence that maintenance conducted is carried out by highly experienced and qualified line maintenance certifying staff.

It is the intention of BATS to continue to expand and enhance their capability and scope of approval, ensuring that they will remain truly the ‘one-stop airworthiness shop’ for our clients.
