FORT
LAUDERDALE, Fla. , March 26,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- GA Telesis, LLC, a
global aviation services integrator, and Air Transport Services
Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:ATSG), a leading provider of aircraft
leasing and air cargo transportation and related services,
announced that the Specialized Procedures Aeroengine Hospital
(SPAH) joint venture at the Wilmington Air Park in
southwestern Ohio has received an
Air Agency Certificate from the European Union Aviation Safety
Agency ("EASA").
With this significant achievement, the joint venture aims to
offer rapid jet engine maintenance services to the airline
industry, significantly contributing to enhancing performance
reliability. Once fully integrated and operational, the new
facility can service up to two hundred engines annually,
prioritizing those produced by General Electric and CFM
International during the initial phase of operations. The joint

documentation for its customers, allowing the use of parts and
engines not only in the United
States but in the European Union as well as countries with
bilateral agreements with the FAA and EASA.
"This certification is a major milestone as we expand our
capabilities in Wilmington. We are
now able to offer our customers dual release for both EASA and FAA;
thus, extending the global reach of our services," said

Telesis Engine Strategy Group. "The ability to better serve our
global customers enhances the future of not only GA Telesis Engine
Services, but the GA Telesis Ecosystem™," Shelton added.
"As we continue to expand the global footprint of ATSG, the
opportunity to provide our global customers access to additional
services increases the value of our Lease+Plus offering," stated
Paul Chase, Chief Commercial Officer
of ATSG, "this joint venture adds to that value with the addition
of EASA certification."
