Achieving Part-145 approval requires demonstrating a robust quality management system, qualified personnel, appropriate facilities and tooling, and documented maintenance procedures that meet EASA’s rigorous standards. The certification is unlimited in duration, subject to ongoing compliance, and positions ABL Industries among a select group of EASA-approved maintenance organizations operating in North Africa. Earning it reflects sustained investment in the company’s people, processes, and facility, a foundation for growing its capability list and expanding its role in the global aerospace supply chain.
