DOHA: Qatar Airways’ private jet division Qatar Executive has received a European Air Safety Agency (EASA) certification approval to provide maintenance and repair services for Bombardier Challenger 604, Challenger 605 and the manufacturer’s entire global family of business jets.
Qatar Executive can now offer scheduled maintenance, repair and warranty services for European registered Challenger and Global aircraft at its Doha hub.
The new EASA PART 145 certification complements the existing approval from Qatar’s Civil Aviation Authority and underpins Qatar Executive’s status as an Authorised Service Facility (ASF) in the Middle East by Bombardier.
Commenting on the new certification, Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker said: “The new EASA PART 145 approval is an important step toward establishing Qatar Executive, not just as a leading charter operator, but also as a premier Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul facility for private jets in the region.”
Founded in 2009, Qatar Executive today operates a wholly-owned all-Bombardier fleet, currently comprising three Challenger 605s, two Global 5000s and one Global XRS.
