Air Europa maintenance obtains FAA repair station certification

Air Europa Maintenance is now authorized to perform repairs such as periodic maintenance checks on commercial aircraft operating under U.S. regulations, after obtaining the FAA Repair Station Certification.

Having obtained approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Air Europa Maintenance now offers a wider range of services to all aircraft registered by the U.S. aeronautical entity.

The FAA certification has been achieved after complying with a highly demanding process with the State Aviation Safety Agency, under the bilateral agreement between the United States and the European Union. During this process, personnel training was reinforced with the goal of offering the best maintenance service for Boeing 787-8/-9 Dreamliner and Airbus A330-200/-300 aircraft.

The bases of Madrid (MAD) and Barcelona (BCN) can now perform periodic, transit, and weekly overhauls and inspections, as well as the repair of aircraft defects; the service can be expanded according to the needs of customers.

The most gratifying aspect of the project has been the teamwork of practically all the areas of our Technical Management, especially highlighting the coordination of the Production, Instruction and Quality areas», said Pedro Macías, Air Europa’s Maintenance Director.

Obtaining FAA Repair Station certification is one more step in our transformation and expansion plan in which we find ourselves ready to offer the best service to our current and future customers. We are prepared to give the best service in quality and price in the fleets in which we are certified, highlighting the B787 and the assistance service we can provide for this fleet», he added. www.aviacionline.com
