PUTRAJAYA: Asia Digital Engineering (ADE), Capital A's maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) arm, is expanding into Vietnam after receiving Vietnam’s Civil Aviation Authority’s approved maintenance organisation (AMO) certification.
ADE, in a statement today, said the certification is a significant milestone that will strengthen the company's capabilities to further support airlines with world-class MRO solutions across ASEAN.
ADE now holds AMO certifications in eight countries besides Vietnam, namely, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, the Philippines, Singapore, Nepal, Thailand, and Myanmar.
"These certifications complement ADE's European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Part 145 maintenance organisation approval, attained last year, which sets the gold standard in aviation maintenance and underscores ADE's commitment to the highest safety and operational excellence levels," it said.
The company also noted that it is now extending its services to a growing number of third-party airlines, leveraging its 20-year experience with AirAsia.
Its services include component support, line maintenance, and base maintenance for a variety of aircraft models, including the Airbus A320 and A330 families and the Boeing 737 family.
ADE chief executive officer Mahesh Kumar said Vietnam’s approval is a crucial step in its journey to become the go-to MRO partner for airlines.
"From maximising aircraft reliability to reducing turnaround times, we aim to support airline partners in meeting their operational goals and enhancing fleet performance," he added. - Bernama
