North Texas maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) provider AeroBrigham will soon complete the Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (ANAC) certification to be awarded by the Brazil aviation authority. The company will then have return to service authorisation for aircraft registered in Brazil. AeroBrigham anticipates greater opportunities for aircraft completions, overall maintenance, repair and other comprehensive services currently offered for both fixed and rotor-wing airframes.

The authorisation process by ANAC required an in-depth review and inspection of AeroBrigham processes as well as a comprehensive inspection of the company's capabilities resulting in the certification award.

AeroBrigham will be exclusively represented in Brazil by Sierra Aeronautica, which has offices based in Sao Paulo, and will provide commercial and technical assistance for AeroBrigham's Brazilian customers performing corporate, law enforcement, parapublic, search and rescue, fire suppression, offshore and air medical missions.

AeroBrigham will again be exhibiting during the Helicopter Association International (HAI) Heli-Expo this year and will showcase a recently refurbished Bell 412. The airframe was imported from the Jamaica Defence Force following a fleet replacement with Bell 429 airframes that AeroBrigham completed for the country.

AeroBrigham is a comprehensive fixed and rotary-wing maintenance, overhaul, completion and support provider based at Decatur Municipal Airport (KLUD), just northwest of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (KDFW).
