FL Technics Wheels and Brakes Secures UK CAA Part-145 Approval for UK Aircraft Expansion

FL Technics Wheels and Brakes has received UK CAA Part-145 approval, enabling maintenance, repair, and overhaul services for UK-registered aircraft. This certification unlocks new growth opportunities by expanding the division’s component MRO capabilities in the competitive European market.

The approval allows FL Technics to directly support UK operators, addressing rising demand for specialized wheels and brakes services. As the world’s number two provider in this segment, servicing over 600 aircraft, the company strengthens its position amid global fleet expansions.

Headquartered in Vilnius, Lithuania, FL Technics operates base maintenance facilities in the UK, Lithuania, and Indonesia, with line maintenance across Europe, the Middle East, North America, and Asia-Pacific. It holds certifications from EASA, FAA, UK CAA, GCAA, and others, covering Boeing, Airbus, ATR, Embraer, and Bombardier aircraft.

This milestone builds on prior UK CAA approvals, such as CFM56 engine services, and aligns with FL Technics’ aggressive expansion strategy. A new 52,000-square-meter heavy maintenance site in Punta Cana opens in October 2025, targeting Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 families in the Americas.

The approval enhances operational efficiency for UK clients, reducing downtime and supporting post-pandemic recovery in air transport. It positions FL Technics Group, part of Avia Solutions, for sustained revenue growth in high-margin MRO segments.
