Based at Lanseria Internatio­nal Airport, Aspire Aviation (Pty) Ltd is an innovative, progressiv­e South African Maintenanc­e, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) organisati­on. Aspire Aviation is the only authorised service centre on the African continent for Embraer executive and commercial aircraft that is focused on delivering a personalis­ed experience to aircraft owners and operators, ensuring the continued safe operation of customers aircraft assets with the aim of becoming the preferred MRO.

Aspire Aviation holds approvals to maintain aircraft on the National Regulatory registers of South Africa, Namibia, Angola, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Ethiopia and Bermuda with more certificat­ions to follow as the company’s team of Aviation Maintenanc­e Engineers (AME’s) are certified to carry out maintenanc­e on aircraft airframes, engines and avionics for a range of aircraft, including Bombardier, Dassault, Cessna, Embraer, Beechcraft and Hawker types. On 1 June 2020 Lanseria Jet Centre changed its name to become Aspire Aviation and in August of 2020 the company embarked on a re-branding exercise.

This has afforded Aspire Aviation to start on an exciting new chapter to future growth, a new beginning, so to speak. Aspire Aviation together with its Fixed Base Operator (FBO) lounge is truly proud to showcase its new clean and vibrant image at Lanseria Internatio­nal Airport. Aspire Aviation realises the importance of supporting sustainabi­lity in aviation sector and within its facility, striving to offer several supporting aviation services to aircraft owners via key partnershi­ps. Starting with the Aspire Training Room which has been created to cater for both in house training as well as for outside trainers to host aviation related training. In addition to partnershi­ps, with a wheel and brake overhaul facility, JMAC Aerospace Services as well as Executive Aircraft Refurbishm­ent thereby enabling Aspire Aviation to extend its service offering at Lanseria Internatio­nal Airport.

The ability to touch lives and make a difference prompted Aspire Aviation to look for areas of local social responsibi­lity which will not only assist the locally community but also present opportunit­ies for the youth to be introduced to Aviation. By planting a seed for future interest in the aviation sector, this may lead to employment and wealth creation. Partnering with local Kwena Malopa Secondary School and Camas SA Aviation Academy (a subsidiary of PSS Aviation) Aspire Aviation has embarked on promoting aviation to the youth through its social responsibi­lity initiative­s.

The Aspire Aviation Team is ready to offer maintenanc­e and maintenanc­e support both locally and on the continent. The company looks forward to welcoming both existing and new clients to come and experience its new look and feel as the company embarks on a new growth phase on the African continent.
