Jet AirWerks has been awarded certification by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) to provide repair and overhaul services for commercial turbine jet engine and airframe components. Jet AirWerks already holds similar certifications from the FAA and EASA. The new approval allows it to provide airworthiness releases for turbine jet engine and airframe components destined for markets regulated by the People's Republic of China.
Jet AirWerks president and CEO Keith Humphrey told AIN the MRO will service both airliners and business jets in the region. "Adding the CAAC certification has always been a key piece of our business plan. The award of this certificate provides the opportunity to increase the company's services to meet the needs of our customers, to open additional markets and new opportunities, and ultimately to create high-quality jobs right here at home in South Central Kansas," Humphrey said.
Based in Arkansas City, Kans., Jet AirWerks principally provides inspection, repair and overhaul services for components manufactured for and/or removed from product lines manufactured by CFM and GE Aviation including all variants of the CFM56 and all variants of GE Aviation's CF34, CF6 and GE90.
