Move Allows Maintenance On "N" Registered A320, B737
Aircraft
The FAA informed Fokker Aircraft Services on Wednesday that its
Part 145 approval has been broadened to cover A320 family and 737
NG series. That means that Fokker Aircraft Services (FAS) can now
undertake airframe maintenance and overhaul for all A320 family and
737 NG series "N" registered aircraft.
“This will be of particular good news for our leasing
company customers, as our entire ‘one-stop’ capability
can be fully utilized for aircraft operating under an
‘N’ registration or transiting to or from an FAA
licensed operator” says Stephen Hands, Vice-President,
Marketing and Sales.
Thanks to Fokker Aircraft Services’ extensive backshops,
its support and services cover the overhaul and repair of landing
gear, aircraft interior – to include the re-skinning of
interior panels, emergency equipment, composites, tubes and welded
assemblies, plus proprietary parts with expanded capabilities to
include best-in-class sheet metal work, speed shop (machining,
milling, etc.), non-destructive inspection, surface treatment,
painting of the livery in cooperation with MAAS, and other
customised solutions.
"Our ‘one-stop’ philosophy means that we can perform
nearly all maintenance and repair tasks right here at our
facilities," Hands said. "This is why we consistently meet our
guaranteed turnaround times. The high importance we place on
meeting our commitments proves the quality and dedication of our
maintenance engineers.”
Netherlands-based Fokker Aircraft Service is an EASA, GCAA and
FAA Part 145 approved maintenance facility.
