Fokker Services Asia, a subsidiary of the esteemed Fokker Services Group (FSG), has taken a giant leap forward by securing Part 145 Maintenance Organization Approval from the Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA).
This approval enables Fokker Services Asia to provide aircraft maintenance services for the Embraer E190 Series at their state-of-the-art Seletar Airport facilities in Singapore.
With this certification now in hand, FSG is now poised to offer an extensive array of services, including heavy maintenance, base maintenance, and lease transition services for Embraer E190 aircraft registered in Australia.
FSG can now provide comprehensive support to customers in Australia, not only for their Fokker and ATR aircraft but also for Embraer aircraft.
Tapping the Growing Embraer Market
With the Embraer E-Jet Family of aircraft gaining traction in the region, this certification isn’t just about expanding services.
It also comes as an opportunity for Fokker Services Asia to secure positioning with Embraer operators in the Asia Pacific region.

“It also confirms our commitment to Alliance Airlines as a long-term business partner in supporting their fleets and our shared growth and success in the Australia region.”
