The FAA has approved flyExclusive as a parts manufacturer under Part 21 of its Code of Federal Regulations. This follows its Part 145 certification of May 2023.

"The secret to our success is vertical integration. Having an MRO operation that holds Part 21 certification will help us further control the safety and quality of the experience we provide to our customers," says founder and CEO Jim Segrave. "It is easier to deliver on high expectations when you control what is going on behind the scenes. I am proud of our MRO team, who have put in the hard work to secure this certification."

Part 21 certification gives flyExclusive approval to build and sell products, articles and parts on third party aircraft in addition to its own fleet of jets. The certification signifies a high standard of quality and safety across all aircraft.

flyExclusive's team will perform these services out of the company's six-hangar MRO facility on its Kinston campus in North Carolina. The 12,000sq ft facility runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
