Onedot Aviation has reinforced its position as Nigeria’s premier aircraft maintenance provider by completing a comprehensive two-year check on another CRJ 200 aircraft for XEJET, achieving the milestone in a remarkable turnaround time of under two weeks.
This latest achievement follows closely on the heels of the company’s successful completion of an identical maintenance project for XEJET just weeks earlier, demonstrating the consistency and reliability that has made Onedot Aviation a trusted partner for Nigerian aviation operators.
The comprehensive maintenance project encompassed detailed aircraft inspections and thorough system checks, showcasing the technical expertise and operational efficiency that distinguishes Onedot Aviation in the competitive Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) sector. The aircraft has successfully received its Certificate of Release to Service (CRS) from the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and is now cleared to return to commercial operations.
Captain Dotun Henry Ogunyemi, Chief Executive Officer of Onedot Aviation, expressed pride in his team’s exceptional performance. “Completing another two-year check on the CRJ 200 for XEJET in such a short period is a testament to our team’s dedication and the robust processes we have in place,” Ogunyemi stated.
The CEO emphasized the company’s commitment to supporting local aviation operations while maintaining international standards. “Our goal is to provide Nigerian operators with world-class maintenance services that save them time and money while keeping their aircraft flying safely. The trust XEJET has placed in us by bringing us another aircraft is a strong vote of confidence in our homegrown capacity.”
This rapid-fire completion of two major maintenance projects positions Onedot Aviation as a formidable force in West African aviation maintenance, directly addressing the industry’s historical reliance on foreign MRO providers. The company’s expanded Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority approvals for Bombardier Challenger and CRJ series aircraft enable it to serve a broader range of operators and aircraft types.
The successful completion of multiple CRJ 200 maintenance projects for XEJET represents more than just operational excellence; it signals a significant shift toward local capacity building in Nigerian aviation. By delivering world-class maintenance services domestically, Onedot Aviation is helping operators reduce costs, minimize aircraft downtime, and maintain competitive operational schedules.
Onedot Aviation’s strategic vision extends beyond individual maintenance projects to encompass regional leadership in aircraft maintenance services. The company aims to become West Africa’s maintenance powerhouse, reducing the aviation industry’s dependence on overseas MRO facilities while building local technical expertise and capacity.
The partnership with XEJET exemplifies how domestic MRO providers can build lasting relationships with local operators through consistent delivery of high-quality services. XEJET’s decision to entrust Onedot Aviation with a second aircraft maintenance project within such a short timeframe demonstrates the confidence that operators place in locally-based maintenance providers who understand their operational requirements and constraints.
This achievement also highlights the growing maturity of Nigeria’s aviation maintenance sector, where local companies are increasingly capable of handling complex aircraft maintenance requirements that previously necessitated sending aircraft overseas. The development contributes to job creation, skills development, and the retention of aviation maintenance expertise within Nigeria.
As Onedot Aviation continues to expand its capabilities and build its reputation for excellence, the company is actively contributing to the broader growth and development of Nigeria’s aviation ecosystem. The successful completion of these maintenance projects positions both Onedot Aviation and the Nigerian aviation sector for continued growth and increased competitiveness in the regional market.
