DC Aviation, with headquarters in Stuttgart, recently obtained C14-Approval for repairing and maintaining the main and nose wheels of aircraft.

The Company is now in a position to perform all maintenance work required by the manufacturers with immediate effect. By eliminating the need for outsourced services and related freight costs, DC Aviation can now offer its customers optimized costs and down times.

“This expansion of our operating license constitutes an ideal addition to our existing portfolio," said Vice President Maintenance Oliver Weiss. "We can now offer customers who participate in our fleet management program together with third-party maintenance customers an additional attractive service.”

Due to enormous stress and their crucial role in safety, aircraft wheels require a significant amount of maintenance. DC Aviation is now in a position to perform all of this maintenance work; from wheel-change and repairs to complete overhaul.

In its special 5,000 m2 hangar at Stuttgart Airport - and its certified maintenance facilities at Al Maktoum International Airport (OMDW) in Dubai - DC Aviation now offers maintenance and overhaul services for customers operating the Airbus-320 family, Bombardier Global, Bombardier Challenger 605/604/350/300, Bombardier Learjet 60/45/40, Dassault Falcon 7X/900, Gulfstream G650/550/450, Cessna Citation XLS and others.

The company owns a spare parts inventory worth over 6.5 million Euros, special tools for certain aircraft, testing equipment, and a Center for Maintenance Logistics. In addition to planned maintenance programmes, DC Aviation has the flexibility to handle unexpected repairs, and its full CAMO Certification meets all EASA airworthiness requirements.
