The Lockheed Martin C-130 Hercules remains the global tactical airlift platform of choice, having been in continuous production for longer than any other military aircraft in history. The airframe’s unmatched longevity is one of its hallmarks, with some aircraft built over 60 years ago still in operation today.

While operating a fleet of legacy C-130 aircraft is an extremely viable and cost-effective way to maintain tactical capability, maximising the lifespan of this legendary aircraft will require regular upgrades to ensure continued airworthiness and compliance with evolving aerospace regulations.

Programmed depot maintenance (PDM) and isochronal (ISO) checks, which involve the examination and maintenance of the entire airframe to increase the overall performance and safety, are carried out in accordance with the United States Air Force technical order (TO) system. Major structural repairs
include wing refurbishment/replacement and OGMA has an in-house capability for overhauling the T56/501D turboprop engine and the C-130J’s Rolls-Royce AE 2100D3. It also carries out the repair, overhaul, modification, upgrade and testing of the Hercules Hamilton Sundstrand 54H60 series propellers and Goodrich landing gear.

The companies we are in partnership with have extensive experience in servicing C130s from Airforces throughout the world and most importantly, have worked on C-130 MRO contracts with no less than seven African air forces – Angola, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Chad, Gabon, Niger and Nigeria and other developing countries.
