AmP has continued Mexican DGAC airframe and engine maintenance services for Gulfstream, Learjet, Hawker and Dassault types through to September 2023.

Arlington, Texas-based Aviation Maintenance Professionals (AmP) has renewed its Mexican Agencia Federal de Aviacion Civil (AFAC) certificate through to September 2023. This includes full maintenance and repair services for Mexican registered aircraft.

Initially certified in March 2013, AmP will continue to provide the full suite of airframe and engine maintenance and repair services to XA, XB, and XC Mexican registered aircraft including Gulfstream, Bombardier Learjet, Hawker and Dassault types.

“Our initial goal in 2013 was to provide reliable, convenient and superior quality aircraft maintenance services for Mexican operators,” says COO Jim Balzer. “Our renewed AFAC certification confirms our commitment to our Mexican clientele.”

AmP's AFAC certification includes both engine and airframe authorised services for the following aircraft and engines:

- Gulfstream: GII, GIII, GIV and GV,G200, G300, G450

- Hawker Beechcraft: BAE-125-700, 800, 800XP, 900XP, King Air 200/B200

“Of all the valuable insights we have learned over the years in the aviation industry, one theme remains consistent wherever you conduct aircraft services,” adds Balzer. “Communication, with specific effort to create collaboration and clarification, breaks down any barrier, including distance, aircraft, language and circumstance.”
