Philippines-based Aviation Concepts Technical Services (ACTSI) recently obtained FAA approval for its Wheel and Tire Shop Services (WTSS) subsidiary under its limited accessory rating. WTSS offers tire change, tear down, and build-up with nondestructive testing on 19 wheel assembly part numbers for aircraft types that include the Gulfstream G280, G350/450, G550, and G650/650ER; Beechcraft King Air B200 and B300; and Bombardier Global family.

WTSS compliments ACTSI's component support services, which has a sheet metal repair shop and battery repair shop, among others.

"We are in constant pursuit of redefining MRO standards in the region, and adding the Wheel and Tire Shop to our suite of support services helps bolster our existing repair station services," said TJ Trinidad, v-p of business development at ACTSI. “This in turn helps solidify ACTSI's reputation as a key player in the MRO sector in Asia."
