Willis Lease Finance announced its UK subsidiary, Willis Aviation Services Limited (WASL), expanded its service offerings to include UK CAA base maintenance approvals for the Airbus A320 family, Boeing 737NG, ATR 42/72 and Embraer 135/145 aircraft. These latest approvals complement Willis Lease Finance’s existing UK CAA and EASA line maintenance approval capabilities at its facility at Teesside International Airport in the UK and expand upon its vertical integration through engine and aircraft MRO services. WASL’s offerings also include aircraft disassembly, short- and long-term aircraft storage and preservation, line maintenance, return to service, as well as ground and cargo handling services.

“We are excited about this latest development at our Teesside location. This approval adds to our extensive product offerings, and positively impacts our operations across the Willis Platform, bringing significant additional value to our growing customer base,” Garry Failler, senior vice president of materials and services and chief technical officer at Willis Lease Finance, said.
