FAA awards Myrtle Air Services, Inc. (MASI) with its 145 Air Agency Certificate, making it the Myrtle Beach International Airport’s newest Part 145 Repair Station.

Myrtle Air Services, Inc. (MASI) has earned its 145 Air Agency Certificate from the FAA.  The FAA regulates civil aviation safety and stipulates that aircraft parts must be repaired by a certified repair station to be legally installed in an aircraft. The certification means that MASI will be held to the FAA’s rigorous high standards, ensuring that the repair station’s programs, systems, and methods of compliance are continuously reviewed, evaluated, and tested.

Myrtle Air Services announced its second location as a subsidiary of Kingman Air Services to Horry County in July 2016. The 145 Air Agency Certificate will be very beneficial to the company’s growth in Horry County.
