Gains EASA Certification For Maintenance And Customization
Bell Helicopter has received approval to perform maintenance and customization on all Canadian registered aircraft under the certification of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) at its facility in Prague, Czech Republic.
“We continue to enhance our customer offerings at Bell Helicopter Prague to maximize our capabilities throughout Europe,” said Michael Reagan, director, global services at Bell Helicopter. “This approval signifies another important step in our commitment to the region and driving enhancements to meet the long-term needs of our customers.”
Bell Helicopter Prague is the company’s regional customization, delivery and aftermarket service center, and addresses the needs of Bell Helicopter’s European customer base. The company acquired Bell Helicopter Prague, previously known as Aviation Service a.s., a world-class provider of modifications, upgrades, avionics and special mission packages in February 2010. Shortly thereafter the company achieved EASA Part 145 approval and Part 145 Maintenance Organization Approval certification from the Ukraine State Aviation Administration. In 2013, EASA granted expanded and updated terms of that facility’s Design Organization Approval (DOA), allowing it to perform major changes on the primary structure and cabin interiors of all Bell Helicopter models. In 2014 the company announced the legal name change of the facility from Aviation Services, a.s. to Bell Helicopter Prague, a.s.
“Bell Helicopter has been serving Europe for more than 50 years, and we continue to invest in our team and make developments to our facility to provide the most advanced and world-class service offerings to our customers,” continued Reagan.
