Rheinland Air Service

Rheinland Air Service GmbH (RAS) is a German provider of aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services, situated as a key independent facilitator in the European regional and business aviation value chain. Operating primarily from its headquarters at Mönchengladbach Airport, the company provides line and base maintenance, components support, and engine services for a variety of turboprop and jet airframes. It acts as an authorised service centre for major manufacturers, bridging the gap between original equipment manufacturers and private or commercial operators. The organisation maintains formal service partnerships with HondaJet, Daher, and ATR, and is a major European hub for the maintenance of the ATR 42 and 72 regional fleets. Its customer base includes commercial airlines, regional carriers, and private business jet owners. Beyond airframe maintenance, the firm is involved in special mission conversions and the distribution of aircraft parts and fuels, supporting the operational readiness of both civilian and utility aviation platforms across the continent. Prospective partners should verify the specific European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Part 145 approvals held by the facility to ensure coverage for their specific airframe and engine combination. It is also necessary to confirm the availability of hangar slots for heavy maintenance cycles and the current status of their dealership agreements, as these dictate the firm's ability to perform warranty work and source proprietary components directly from the manufacturers.
