Simplifying aviation maintenance
MAINTENANCE, MODIFICATIONS AND UPGRADES
We support aircraft readiness and availability by offering clients a comprehensive range of aviation maintenance services for rotary-wing aircraft. These include routine inspections, in-depth repairs, aircraft systems overhauling, and integrated lifecycle solutions.
We define industry benchmarks by ensuring that every maintenance action – simple or complex, corrective or preventive – surpasses the highest quality and safety standards. This is why we only employ the most talented technicians and engineers, both locally and internationally, work on a variety of rotary-wing platforms — making them subject matter experts in the process.
Additionally, we offer the following aviation-related services:

MIDDLE EAST & AFRICAN DISTRIBUTION CENTRE
GAL operates a one-of-a-kind 1,440-square-foot bonded warehouse to speed and simplify the distribution of aircraft spare parts, tools, equipment and other materials across the Middle East and North Africa. The facility deepens GAL’s MRO capabilities by stocking and supplying critical spare parts for a range of platforms produced by Aviation Industry. By having spares positioned in the Middle East region, repair times are reduced from months to weeks, delivering customers enhanced fleet availability. As well, customers enjoy significant costs savings, both by not having to allocate budgets to maintain their own stock of spare parts, and by not having to face high shipping costs for urgently needed spares.
