ACTSI gets its act together for 8A and 8C Checks
ACTSI, a new facility for aviation MRO services, opened at the Subic Bay International airport late last year, transforming the former US Navy base into a 24/7 hub for business aviation, and is now FAA-approved for 8Cs.
ACTSI is establishing a handy hub in Asia Pacific.

Philippines-based Aviation Concepts Technical Services, Inc. (ACTSI) has recently upgraded its capability to 8A/8C Checks following approval by the US FAA. With a strong and experienced Gulfstream team, the ACTSI MRO is now capable of providing maintenance services for Gulfstream IV-X (G350/G450) and GV-SP (G500/G550) with limited engine 8A/8C, 72-month, 96-month and 144-month inspections.

“We are delighted to see the FAA recognise our strength and dedication to providing world-class standards of MRO services here in Subic Bay by approving our 8A/8C from 1A/1C in the first quarter of 2020,” comments Fernando Gaspar, president of ACTSI. “We have been providing services to clients in the region, and our international team will continue to work its best to provide well-deserved services to corporate jets and maintain them as valuable assets.”

ACTSI, a new facility for aviation MRO services, opened at the Subic Bay International airport late last year, transforming the former US Navy base into a 24/7 hub for business aviation in the Asia Pacific region. Strategically located within an 18,000 sqm hangar, ACTSI is to become a premier parking and MRO service provider for business jets within the region.
