Best Fly partners with Corjet Maintenance in first-of-a-kind agreement for Angola

Under the terms of the agreement Best Fly Maintenance will benefit from Corjet Maintenance’s EASA Part 145 knowledge and experience, enabling the newly formed business to offer a wide range of maintenance solutions in Angola and the surrounding region.   Best Fly Maintenance will effectively become an extension of Corjet Maintenance in Africa, offering equivalent capabilities in terms of aircraft maintenance. Corjet will also provide human resources and training programmes to Best Fly maintenance engineers and technicians in Luanda and at its main base station in Madrid. “This is the first time an MRO agreement of this type has been developed and implemented to bolster executive aviation in Angola”, said Carlos Carbó. 

Best Fly Maintenance will be able to work on aircraft registered anywhere in the world and perform a significant number of maintenance tasks that until now have been handled abroad owing to the lack of qualified service centres in Angola. Nuno Pereira, Managing Partner anticipates that Best Fly Maintenance will be well positioned to handle regional AOG situations in a more efficient manner with teams deployed directly from Luanda.   The agreement will also address local market needs for parts and components which Best Fly Maintenance will be able to provide from its new facility. 

New line maintenance station planned for Luanda Airport by year end. 

The Best Fly Group is making a significant investment to provide the required facilities, tooling, local approvals, parts, and components, to support the development of the new line maintenance station at Luanda Airport. In preparation for the opening, Best Fly will also be investing in training its maintenance team to work across a range of aircraft types. 

“This is not just a key partnership for Best Fly, but also for Angola as it brings new skills to the region’s aviation industry whilst satisfying the growing market need for a high quality maintenance services. We strongly believe that by investing locally we will improve our business and ensure its long term commercial viability whilst benefitting the country too,” said Pereira.
