ARB Aviation has made legal claims against the former owners of Tayside Aviation, over concerns about the safe maintenance of aircraft and the company’s financial compliance.
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is investigating a number of engineers for allegedly falsifying maintenance records over a period prior to the sale to ARB Aviation in December 2021. The regulator has the power to both prosecute companies and charge individuals for breaches of the legislation it enforces.
Tayside Aviation is owned by ARB Aviation, a company set up by businessman Tony Banks for that acquisition from husband-and-wife James and Kathleen Watt. He claims to have invested £3m in the business.
