TAG Aviation has unified all of its maintenance centres under the name ‘TAG Aviation Maintenance Services.’

The new organisation, which is made up of eight service centres, will allow the company to take full advantage of increased business demand and enhance the service for its clients around the globe, said a statement.

TAG Aviation has regrouped all of its maintenance centres under the same organisation, reflecting the scope of maintenance services that it offers across Europe and beyond.

It has heavy maintenance centres in Geneva and Farnborough and offers comprehensive maintenance services in Sion, Paris, Clermont-Ferrand, Madrid, Hong Kong and Lomé in Togo.

TAG Aviation clients will benefit from highly-trained teams that have the expertise and flexibility to maintain their aircraft and make specific modifications – all available 24/7.

Frank Madignier, president, TAG Aviation Engineering and FBO Services, said: ”The new name provides clarity and reflects the capabilities and capacity we offer across our maintenance network. We are able to deliver a full range of maintenance solutions at six locations in Europe as well as in Hong Kong and Togo, holding our position as the leading one-stop-shop for aircraft maintenance.

"Our expert team is available at all times to support clients no matter where they are in the world and is able to respond quickly to their specific needs. Our clients benefit from high-value maintenance services, including major aircraft modifications and interior refurbishment."

TAG Aviation has been approved by all main aircraft manufacturers and has certification to work on over sixty types of aircraft.

It will offer airframes, avionics, troubleshooting and ramp services as well as ten specialist workshops, such as paint shop, interior refurbishment and non-destructive testing, making it the leading one-stop-shop for aircraft maintenance.
