“Already having a Part 145 CASA & EASA approved repair station in Australia has enabled us to reduce aircraft downtime, improve response time, and has enabled customers to leverage the full scope of PAG services locally in Australia,” said Chris Slade, Director of Operations PAI-AU. “The recent approval from the FAA represents another effort to extend our capabilities to international operators,” adds Slade. The 15,000-square foot facility strategically located near Brisbane’s Airport, allows PAI-AU to provide sales, exchanges and MRO services to mission critical operators in “real time”.
