Aero Experts in France, the design and engineering unit of The Aero Experts Group, has announced it has been awarded the Design Organization Approval certificate from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) after a successful 12 months audit process.
The certificate allows the company to approve minor aircraft modifications independently. It will also enable Aero Experts to speed up the STC certification process for any aircraft cabin-related modifications on small and large aeroplanes, including Satcom antenna installations, in accordance with airworthiness regulatory requirements.
This is a major milestone in the growth of the Group as it aims to provide first-rate products and services needed by aircraft operators for cabin retrofit and return-to-lease projects.
The newly acquired DOA capability is complementary to the company’s expansion, which most recently includes the establishment of operations in Sao Paolo, Brazil, as part of its continuous effort to bring value-added services to its clients around the world.
