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.

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
