GA-ATS certified for Praetor 500 and 600
Shortly after successful certification, the first Embraer Praetor 600 left the GA-ATS hangars. The service centre can now welcome both Praetor 500 and 600 jets at its one-stop-shop in Oberpfaffenhofen.
GA-ATS undertook an annual inspection on the Praetor 600.

Germany-based business jet service centre General Atomics AeroTec Systems has received approval to service Embraer's Praetor 500 and 600 business jets, further expanding its service portfolio. Only a few weeks after the certification, the first Praetor 600 aircraft has already left the GA-ATS site after a successful comprehensive inspection.

General Atomics AeroTec Systems performed an annual inspection on the aircraft. The deciding factors for the customer to choose GA-ATS were the location as well as the experience of GA-ATS employees on other Embraer models.

Thanks to the new certification, GA-ATS can now welcome Praetor 500 and 600 business jets at its one-stop-shop in Oberpfaffenhofen. Both aircraft types are now included in GA-ATS' Part 145 certificate DE.145.0002. This expands GA-ATS' Embraer service portfolio, which previously included Legacy and Lineage aircraft.

In addition, General Atomics AeroTec Systems is a maintenance facility for Bombardier Challenger and Global Express aircraft, up to the Global 7500. The company offers versatile MRO and upgrade services for business jets, as well as high-quality custom aircraft painting.
