Vector Aerospace Africa, a StandardAero company located in Johannesburg, South Africa, has secured EASA aircraft maintenance organisation (AMO) certification for its engine MRO facility. Opened in 2010 and located at Lanseria International airport, the shop is a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A designated overhaul facility with distributorship rights. The EASA AMO adds to existing authorisations from the South African CAA and Transport Canada. The facility also holds local AMO approvals from the CAAs of Angola, Botswana, Kenya, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe. General manager Jason Gallant says: "This additional approval will simplify maintenance approvals for those customers operating under EASA certification, especially those outside of South Africa.
