Aerocare acquires Chester-based MRO facilities to boost capabilities.
Aerocare's expansion plans align with its goal to broaden its customer base by working with commercial operators in addition to its existing business jet portfolio.

The Aerocare expansion involves the upgrade of Aerocare’s core MRO and paint shop facilities and a new workshop space with a ‘C’ rating and specialized tooling for comprehensive services.

Aerocare Aviation Services, a well-established Part 145 provider, has announced a significant expansion of its MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) facilities in Chester, United Kingdom. This investment aims to support the company’s growth in the business jet market and its planned expansion into the commercial aviation sector. The expansion involves the enhancement of Aerocare’s core MRO and paint shop facilities. New workshop space with a ‘C’ rating and specialized tooling will be added to provide comprehensive services, including complete cabin refurbishments, component structural repairs, and manufacturing. These services will be offered from Aerocare’s hangars at Hawarden Airport.

Aerocare’s expansion plans align with its goal to broaden its customer base by working with commercial operators in addition to its existing business jet portfolio. The upgraded facilities at Hawarden will position the company to cater to a wider range of clients, thanks to the new ‘C’ ratings that cover interiors, structures, doors, hatches, flying controls, and Part 21 subpart G approval for component and system production.

Peter Mankelow, Managing Director at Aerocare, said, “Having recently invested in widening our hangar doors to accommodate larger aircraft, the next logical step is to extend our in-house back-shop capabilities to provide a genuine ‘one-stop-shop’ service to customers.With ambitions to expand on our current business jet portfolio to work with commercial operators, we needed to develop the facilities at Hawarden. With a skilled and dedicated team already in place, we’re excited to build on our growing reputation for quality maintenance, upgrades, paint and interior work.”

Aerocare collaborates closely with selected design organizations to provide highly customized services to each customer. From initial concept drawings to certification and installation, the company works to enhance both the interior and exterior aesthetics of its clients’ aircraft.
