About Us

Company Profile

Asian Aeronautical Services Inc. (AASI) was formed in 1993 and Incorporated to serve the Aviation needs of the Philippines particularly in Corporate and General Aviation areas of the industry in the Philippines. We saw that there were a significant section of aircraft fleet comprising Turbo Prop and Jet aircraft mainly King Airs, Citation Jets, Eurocopter and Bell helicopters that were departing for both scheduled annual maintenance and upgrade of systems to be carried out in Singapore or Australia. It was decided to establish a facility in Manila that was capable of carrying out this work at the same standard or better than was being provided overseas using experienced Philippine mechanics and technicians trained in the Philippines and overseas with a mixed Philippine and Australian management.

We have been providing a very high standard of service since and stemmed the out flow of aircraft overseas for maintenance. Even during the Asian economic crisis in 1997 and the Global crisis of 2008 we have continued to grow and diversified as the market changed into areas where we could support the aviation industry by providing International Aircraft Maintenance standards and support to our customers.

Our Mission Statement

To provide the Philippine and Regional Aviation Communities access to International standard aviation maintenance and services support by providing International standards in our CAAP approved Aircraft Maintenance Organization (AMO).

To introduce, supply, install and provide ongoing service support for the latest technology available from proven OEM products available, through appointment by OEM’s dealerships and service center and a professional capability exceeding the average AMO service providers in the Philippines.

To continue to identify and provide for the future requirements of the regional aviation community and be a leader in our industry within our region and beyond.

AVIONICS and ELECTRONICS FAA STC’d MODIFICATIONS/ UPGRADES

In keeping with our Mission Statement and the growing demand in all sectors of the Aviation Industry’s need for new technology particularly in the realm of Avionics and Electronics AASI has established not only a very capable and well equipped Avionics Workshop conducting bench testing and repair but also a superior capability in Avionics and Electronic display systems installations.

We have developed a very capable Avionics and Electronics Installation Department that has began by manufacturing complete aircraft wire harnesses for FAA Experimental category aircraft more than 4 years ago until the present day. We have translated this experience into the certified aircraft category Avionics STC Modifications and Retro fit Upgrades. Our Avionics Installation Department is normally engaged two or more Upgrades of certified aircraft at any time.

The wire harnesses that are needed for the Upgrades Installations are manufactured in advance at our Avionics shop and we install the complete wire harnesses for the Avionics in panel stacks and Instrument panels for these aircraft. The typical Avionics and Electronics panel equipment we install is Garmin in panel IFR Avionics either a GNS430W/GNS530W or SL 30 as the COMM/NAVs a GMA340 Audio panel and GTX330 Transponder. We also install Garmin G600G500 SVT PFD/MFD to these aircraft. We install Electronic Instruments Inc TSO’d MVP50-P Electronic Instrument Systems for the engine and airframe systems indications display which compliment the G500/600 PFD/MFD’s well giving a truly “Glass Cockpit” Panel!
