Caerdav

Caerdav is an independent maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) company based in St. Athan, South Wales. The company operates from a former Royal Air Force maintenance base with a 6,000-foot Instrument Landing System (ILS) runway and parking for up to 20 narrow-body aircraft. Founded by Chairman Bruce Dickinson, Caerdav offers maintenance services primarily for Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 family aircraft.

The company performs a full range of maintenance work including A checks, C checks, repairs, engine changes, landing gear changes, and modifications. Its facility, called Twin Peaks, hosts technicians and engineers certified for base maintenance, with in-house capabilities such as composite repairs, interior refits, non-destructive testing (NDT), and end-of-lease transition projects. The hangars also include back shops for composite repair and paint services.

Caerdav provides additional services like aviation consultancy, tool hire for Airbus and Boeing tooling, and aircraft storage solutions. Their aircraft parking supports airlines and lessors needing temporary storage during fleet transitions or lease returns. The company’s site also features a Caerdav Apprenticeship Academy to develop skilled maintenance personnel.

Approvals for Caerdav’s Part 145 MRO facility include UK CAA Part 145, EASA Part 145, FAA Part 145, GACA (Saudi Aviation Authority), TCCA (Transport Canada), and Guernsey 2-REG. These certifications enable Caerdav to service customers worldwide. The company counts clients such as Ryanair, easyJet, TUI, Trade Air, flyadeal, and GE Aviation among its references.

The company emphasizes delivering maintenance quickly and within budget, offering flexible and cost-effective solutions. Their modification work ranges from simple cabin layout changes to Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) projects. Caerdav is positioned as a versatile partner for airlines and lessors seeking aircraft base maintenance, modification, and storage.

With its experience and approvals, Caerdav serves the UK and global aviation markets with comprehensive services for narrow-body aircraft. Its base at St. Athan supports both maintenance and parking needs, helping customers manage aircraft throughout their operational life and transitions.
