GACA certifies Greenpoint for Part 145
Saudi Arabia’s GACA has given the OK to Greenpoint for repair station certification of its Washington, US modification factility.
Greenpoint’s modification facility in Moses Lake, Washington.

Greenpoint Technologies has received a Part 145 repair station certificate from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) following a review and on-site audit of its modification facility in Moses Lake, Washington. The audit concluded with zero findings.

CEO Klaus Koester says: “Regulatory approvals are an important way to support our clients and their aircraft. This achievement reflects the preparation and coordination across our teams and strengthens our ability to support clients with maintenance services in accordance with the requirements of the applicable authorities.”

GACAR Part 145 establishes the regulatory requirements and safety standards necessary for the certification and operation of approved repair stations performing aircraft maintenance, preventative maintenance and alterations. It complements Greenpoint’s existing regulatory approvals which include EASA Part 145 and FAA Part 145 repair station approvals, TCCA Bilateral Maintenance Acceptance based on FAA Part 145, Department of Civil Aviation Aruba Certificate of Acceptance based on EASA Part 145, and approval from the UAE’s GCAA under CAR 145. Greenpoint also holds FAA Part 21 manufacturing-related approvals.

These capabilities support the company’s work across the aircraft lifecycle, from interior completions and modifications to maintenance and AOG support.
