Fly Alliance Maintenance announced the expansion of its global maintenance capabilities with official approval as a Foreign Approved Maintenance Organization by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation of India. This approval enables Fly Alliance Maintenance to perform maintenance services on Indian-registered (VT tail number) aircraft, further strengthening the company’s international footprint and commitment to supporting business aviation operators worldwide.

Fly Alliance CEO, Kevin Wargo commented: “With India’s business aviation market continuing to grow, this approval represents a significant milestone for Fly Alliance Maintenance. Our expanded DGCA authorization allows us to deliver the same high-touch, responsive maintenance support our clients expect—now with direct service access for Indian-registered aircraft.From advanced inflight connectivity solutions like Starlink to international maintenance approvals, our focus remains on elevating the operational experience for aircraft owners and operators."

In addition to their newly obtained DGCA approval for our Part 145 Repair Station, Fly Alliance holds FAA approval for U.S.-registered aircraft, EASA approval for European-registered aircraft, and San Marino approval for San Marino–registered aircraft.

Under the DGCA FAMO approval, Fly Alliance Maintenance is authorized to provide maintenance support for the following aircraft types registered in India:

Hawker
- 750
- 800A
- 800XP
- 850XP

Bombardier
- Global Express
- Global 5000
- Global 5500

This approval enhances Fly Alliance’s ability to support Indian operators with scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, technical troubleshooting, and global AOG coordination.

Continued momentum across global operations

The DGCA approval follows a period of strong momentum for Fly Alliance, including the maintenance division’s recent authorization as a Starlink reseller and installer. Handselected by SpaceX, Fly Alliance Maintenance is one of the few MRO’s in the United States that is authorized to install Starlink on business jets. Having successfully installed over 15 units in the second half of 2025 alone, Fly Alliance continues to see high demand for the next generation in-flight Wi-Fi. These advancements reflect Fly Alliance’s continued investment in cutting-edge aviation technology and comprehensive global support services.

As part of Fly Alliance’s overall company growth strategy, they have expanded their global footprint with new offices in Dubai, New Delhi, and San Marino, bringing their total presence to eight offices worldwide. The company is actively progressing toward the addition of their San Marino Air Operator Certificate under the T7 Registry, which is targeted for completion prior to Q2 2026. Upon certification, Fly Alliance will onboard their first Global Express aircraft to the AOC.
