Issued by Fly Alliance Maintenance.
January 19, 2026
Fly Alliance Maintenance, the maintenance division of US Part 135 operator Fly Alliance, today announced the expansion of its global maintenance capabilities with official approval as a Foreign Approved Maintenance Organization (FAMO) by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) of India.
This approval enables Fly Alliance Maintenance to perform maintenance services on Indian-registered (VT tail number) aircraft, further strengthening the company's international footprint and commitment to supporting business aviation operators worldwide.
“With India's business aviation market continuing to grow, this approval represents a significant milestone for Fly Alliance Maintenance,” said Fly Alliance CEO, Kevin Wargo. “Our expanded DGCA authorisation allows us to deliver the same high-touch, responsive maintenance support our clients expect, now with direct service access for Indian-registered aircraft.”
In addition to the newly obtained DGCA approval for its Part 145 repair station, Fly Alliance holds FAA approval for U.S.-registered aircraft, EASA approval for European-registered aircraft and San Marino approval for San Marino-registered aircraft.
Under the DGCA FAMO approval, Fly Alliance Maintenance is authorised to provide maintenance support for the following aircraft types registered in India:
Hawker:
- 750
- 800A
- 800XP
- 850XP
- 900XP
Cessna Citation:
- XL
- Excel
- XLS
- XLS+
- XLS Gen 2
Bombardier:
- Global Express
- Global 5000
- Global 5500
- Global 6000
- Global 6500
- Global 7500
- Global 8000
This approval enhances Fly Alliance's ability to support Indian operators with scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, technical troubleshooting and global AOG coordination.
The DGCA approval follows a period of strong momentum for Fly Alliance, including the maintenance division's authorisation as a Starlink reseller and installer in March last year. Handselected by SpaceX, Fly Alliance Maintenance is one of the few MROs in the United States that is authorised to install Starlink on business jets. Having successfully installed over 15 units in the second half of 2025 alone, Fly Alliance continues to see high demand for the next generation in-flight Wi-Fi. These advancements reflect Fly Alliance's continued investment in cutting-edge aviation technology and comprehensive global support services.
“From advanced inflight connectivity solutions like Starlink to international maintenance approvals, our focus remains on elevating the operational experience for aircraft owners and operators,” Wargo added.
As part of Fly Alliance's overall company growth strategy, it has expanded its global footprint with new offices in Dubai, New Delhi and San Marino, bringing its total presence to eight offices worldwide. The company is actively progressing toward the addition of its San Marino Air Operator Certificate (AOC) under the T7 Registry, which is targeted for completion prior to Q2 2026. Upon certification, Fly Alliance will onboard its first Global Express aircraft to the AOC.
