The entire JJGK Aero team is proud to announce that we have recently obtained SPO approval, which allows us to carry out maintenance check flights. Congratulations to GWENDOLINE WHITFIELD and Marc on this achievement.
We are pleased to announce that JJGK-AERO has just obtained PART CAMO approval (PART FR.CAMO.0161) for EC225 and AS332 aircraft, enabling us to open up a new chapter in airworthiness planning and monitoring, and to carry out airworthiness reviews. Our Airworthiness Manager, Laura DEBRAY, will be taking on these new tasks, along with GWENDOLINE WHITFIELD, Head of Surveillance and Compliance.
On Friday 9 December, the aeronautical paint booth was inaugurated as part of the new “Mention Complémentaire Peintre Aéronautique” course at the Lycée Pierre MENDES in Vitrolles, in partnership with the Greta and the Pôle Formation UIMM SUD. This is a windfall for JJGK-AERO, which is counting on new local talent to continue its development, as Programme Manager Alexis Tierny told Maritima. Thank you to everyone involved in this training programme, which meets a real need.
As part of the dismantling of an H225, the JJGK-AERO team is working on various stages: dismantling the tail boom, testing the gauge rods and validating the electronic box of the emergency buoyancy system are on the day’s test programme.
JJGK Aero, which operates in the civil and military aeronautics sector, chose the famous Mercure hangar in Istres as its base of operations because of its proximity to two major customers: Airbus Helicopters and Armée de l’Air Base 125. On 5 July 2022, during the second edition of Aerosud, JJGK Aero, which is making major financial and HR investments, was honoured by Provence Promotion at a special event in Istres with the “Invest in Provence” award.

After a few days of hard work, the aircraft’s paintwork is complete. Our painters started by stripping the aircraft using a few solutions. Then, thanks to the expertise of our painters and the quality of our paint booth, we managed to achieve our goal on time.
Last year there were less than 10 of us. Today, we’re more than 25. JJGK Aero has grown and we will continue to develop with more staff, more resources and more helicopters!
