MecanAir Becomes Dual Kodiak and TBM Aircraft Service Center

Based In Switzerland, Near Fribourg

Daher has announced the appointment of Switzerland's MecanAir SA as an authorized service center for both the Kodiak and TBM turboprop-powered aircraft. Based at Ecuvillens Airport (LSGE) near Fribourg, MecanAir is an EASA Part 145 certificated maintenance and repair station. It has been operating as an authorized Kodiak service center, and the expansion of its responsibilities to the TBM underscores Daher's integration of these two airplanes in the company's single-engine turboprop product line.

IRS, at the beginning of 2021, issued final rules on FET obligations for aircraft management services paid for by aircraft owners. The final rule also referenced regulations on payment and collection of FET, an issue raised by NBAA and NATA in their comments, but the agency suggested a separate rulemaking project to address those concerns.
