FL Technics Indonesia has received European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Part-145 certification for its maintenance facility at I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport in Denpasar, the company has announced. The approval permits the hangar to perform base and line maintenance on aircraft registered in the European Union.

What the approval covers

The EASA certificate authorises work on Airbus A320 family aircraft — including both CEO and NEO models — and on Boeing 737 Classic, Next-Generation and MAX variants. The Bali site spans 17,000 m², comprises three hangars with three aircraft bays and includes a 2,000 m² paint booth.

Audits and scope

FL Technics Indonesia said the certification followed technical and quality audits by EASA inspectors that examined the hangar’s infrastructure, tooling systems and engineering workforce. The company has previously provided maintenance to aircraft registered across the Americas, Asia, Africa and Australia; the new approval extends its remit to EU-registered aeroplanes and to operators that require EASA-compliant maintenance.

“The facility is preparing to start the work for an EU-based operator by next week, with further arrivals expected in November 2026. FL Technics Indonesia is also positioned to serve operators across Asia, the Middle East, and Australia that require EASA-approved maintenance,” Martynas Grigas said.

For European carriers and lessors, the certification creates an additional EASA-approved MRO option in Southeast Asia capable of handling common single-aisle types. FL Technics Indonesia emphasised the facility’s layout and paint capability as elements intended to reduce aircraft downtime while meeting regulatory safety standards.

  • EASA Part-145 allows the Bali hangar to maintain EU-registered aircraft of the listed types.
  • The site’s capacity and paint booth form part of its offering to operators seeking EASA-standard work in the region.
  • FL Technics Indonesia expects inbound aircraft from an EU operator imminently, with more movements in November 2026.

The certification is formal recognition by EASA that the Bali facility meets the agency’s technical and quality criteria for the specified aircraft types. FL Technics Indonesia did not disclose commercial terms or the identity of the EU-based operator it expects to serve.
