Sharing the vision of growing the drone industry, Galaxy Aerospace (M) Sdn. Bhd (GAM) collaborates with Pen Aviation Sdn. Bhd to become the worldwide-first Pen Aviation UAV Authorised Service Centre (ASC) for Pen Aviation’s Unmanned Aircraft System (PEN UAS). The signature of this collaboration has been taken place at the Selangor Aviation Show.
The agreement will see GAM, dedicating its Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facility for Pen Aviation’s multi-mission drone, PEN55V, located at Subang Airport (GAM UniKL – MIAT). GAM will provide MRO services to Pen Aviation and its Clients to maintain PEN UAS airworthiness through Pen Aviation Approved Maintenance Programme. GAM’s services cover scheduled and unscheduled line maintenance and will progressively be extended to base maintenance capabilities as PEN UAS fleet operators grow.
The UAS are maintained in accordance with the highest safety standards under the care of certified engineers and technicians from GAM and Pen Aviation. They will work closely to diagnose, maintain and repair the PEN UAS fleet in ASEAN, even in the unlikely event of an AOG. In efforts to enhance efficiency in maintenance and complex operational processes, both parties will leverage DigiMIND, Pen Aviation’s unique digital platform.
GAM is committed to providing professional services, responsive and quality workmanship to build the long term and meaningful relationship between Pen Aviation and its Client through Pen Aviation FreeMIND.
