OREANDA-NEWS. UTair-Technik, a subsidiary of UTair (UTair Aviation JSC), has been issued a Part-145 approval certificate as an aircraft maintenance organization by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).

In September 2006, UTair-Technik was audited by the EASA’s French department, and was submitted to the EASA for approval.

An approval certificate confirming compliance with Part-145 requirements enables organizations to perform maintenance of aircraft and components produced abroad and registered in countries covered by the EASA Part-145 rules of the European Union.

This time, UTair-Technik was authorized to provide line and base maintenance of ATR-42-300/320 airplanes. In 2007, the company proposes to gain approvals for line maintenance stations in Vnukovo and Surgut airports, and expand its ART-42 aircraft component and Boeing-737 maintenance.
