West Star Aviation recently obtained Mexican Civil Aviation Federal Agency (AFAC) repair station recertification for its facilities in East Alton, Illinois, and Houston. The recent approval replaces the certification originally issued by the Mexican Civil Aviation Authority in Mexico (DGAC) providing for safety and certification continuity between the FAA and Mexican aviation authorities, West Star said.
Mexico in late 2019 had announced that AFAC would replace DGAC. While most of the DGAC officials moved over to AFAC, the move established an autonomous agency with its own budget.
