New Repair Station Certification Allows Jet Airwerks To Provide Airworthiness Releases For Foreign Markets Regulated By The Chinese Government
Kansas-based Jet AirWerks, a turbine jet engine component repair station, has been awarded certification by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) for the performance of repair and overhaul services for commercial turbine jet engine and airframe components. The CAAC certification allows Jet AirWerks to expand its market footprint and enhance its current certifications from the FAA and EASA by additionally providing airworthiness releases for turbine jet engine and airframe components destined for markets regulated by the People's Republic of China (PRC).
The award of the CAAC Certification follows a year-long application process and a rigorous, on-site quality audit conducted by inspectors from the PRC. With nearly 10,000 part numbers authorized by the CAAC certificate, Jet AirWerks now boasts one of the largest repair capabilities listings for turbine jet engine products manufactured by CFM International, LP (CFMI) and GE Aviation, General Electric's aviation division.
"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," said Keith Humphrey, Jet AirWerks' President and CEO.
"South Central Kansas is arguably the most impressive and well-established aviation and aerospace cluster in the United States. So, naturally, our region has one of the most impressive, skilled aviation and aerospace workforces in the country. I'm beyond thrilled that we can expand the opportunity to showcase our collective talents, technical skills and quality workmanship to the global market," Humphrey said.
Jet AirWerks' new repair station CAAC Certificate Number is F001006600 and is effective immediately.
