Jet Aviation (Hall 4, Booth A050) has recently obtained several approvals at its support facilities around the world. In Russia, Jet Aviation Moscow Vnukovo obtained U.S. FAA repair station approval. It may thus provide scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, airframe and engine repairs, avionics modifications, inspections and defect rectifications on U.S.-registered aircraft, according to Vitaly Aleksikov, the location’s general director.
India’s civil aviation authority (DGCA) has certified Jet Aviation Singapore as a repair station for India-registered aircraft. The authorization is for line- and base maintenance, as well as interior modifications, refurbishments and upgrades, John Riggir, general manager, said.
Jet Aviation Dubai has secured approvals from the UAE’s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) and EASA for its non-destructive testing (NDT) shop. It may thus provide fluorescent-penetrant testing, ultrasonic testing and eddy-current testing to all aircraft registered in the UAE and Europe. It may do the same for N-registered aircraft, as it has also held an FAA approval since November. “NDT technologies help identify latent issues and are an integral part of business jet maintenance,” general manager Hardy Butschi commented.
Jet Aviation Dubai also has been approved by the GCAA to support Airbus A320 family aircraft. This allows the facility to support ACJs registered in the UAE, with line and base maintenance.
