The company dates back over 40 years, when it was the maintenance arm of Air UK, Britain's largest regional airline at the time, which had a significant fleet of BAe Systems 146 aircraft when it was acquired by KLM in 1998 and renamed KLM UK. In 2003, the airline was taken over by KLM Cityhopper, the Dutch carrier's regional operation.This brought further Fokker 70 and 100 work to the MRO, which had changed its name to its current one. With the inevitable decline in the fleets of those aircraft seeming to approach, diversification was needed and Boeing 737 Classic/NG approval was gained in 2008, followed by the Airbus A320 Family in 2014.Two years later, the Embraer E-Jet Family was added, this being the Fokker replacement aircraft for KLM Cityhopper.
