Nigeria’s oldest airline, Aero Contractors has started the maintenance of one of its aircraft on C-check. This follows the certification of the airline by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) which issued Approved Maintenance Organisation (AMO) certificate to the company, qualifying it to carry out C-check maintenance on Boeing Classics: B737-300, B737-400 and B737-500.
Aero recently extended its maintenance hangar so that it could effectively take in a Boeing 737 aircraft and it is partnering with A J Walters of UK for tooling and spares; the South Africa Airways Technic and other international maintenance organizations to ensure that its aircraft maintenance is in line with global standards.
For years the airline has been maintenance helicopters and Bombardier Dash 8 aircraft up to D and C check respectively.
The airline also hopes to secure European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification before the middle of next year.
Below are the pictures from the maintenance facility.
