New engine workshop in Aix-en-Provence: Aéropyrénées strengthens its maintenance capabilities.
The availability and reliability of our fleet have always been at the heart of our priorities. In this spirit, Aéropyrénées has just opened an engine workshop in the Aix-en-Provence region, marking a new step in the development of our maintenance division.
One step closer to operational excellence.
Practically, this workshop now allows us to carry out engine overhauls on our aircraft ourselves. While this change may seem technical, it has an immediate impact: aircraft downtime is greatly reduced. Planes spend less time on the ground and more time where they belong, flying, in the hands of our students and instructors.
This new capability is not just a time saver; it is also a guarantee of quality. By internalizing this critical part of maintenance, we ensure complete oversight of our engines, from the first flight to major inspections. This strengthens traceability, technical mastery, and the high standards we apply at every stage.
This workshop complements the two PART 145 facilities already operating at our Perpignan and Toussus-le-Noble bases, as well as the Continuing Airworthiness Organization (CAO). With the addition of the Aix-en-Provence site, we now have optimized geographic coverage and increased intervention capacity across our entire fleet. This represents a real performance lever for the school and an additional guarantee for our students.
Moreover, this workshop reflects our confidence in the expertise of our teams. Our mechanics have the necessary skills to carry out these complex operations while strictly adhering to aviation standards.
This new facility is part of our ongoing commitment: to provide our student pilots with a safe, professional, and responsive training environment, supported by a perfectly maintained fleet.
