10 January 2020: BEDEK, the maintenance organization of Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) has obtained the AS9110C Standard Certification for the management of maintenance and continuous airworthiness for aircraft, either civilian or military, that are in need of Maintenance Repair & Overhaul (MRO) services.
This Standard is specifically tailor-made to the regulatory requirements, aviation law, and global aviation regulations, with the understanding that the intended lifespan of aircraft is fifty years or more after production, and therefore a high level of maintenance is important to their safe and continuous operation. The certification to the new Standard (from the previous AS9100D), will streamline business and operational productivity within the organisation, and drive an increase in business as part of IAI's strategy.
NSF Certifying Body has provided this prestigious certification which demonstrates IAI's continued commitment to the highest standards and quality of work within the aerospace industry.
IAI Executive Vice President & the Aviation Group's General Manager, Yossi Melamed said, "IAI's Aviation Group is committed to the most stringent standards in all fields, including aircraft maintenance and MRO services for aircraft engines and aircraft accessories. Certification to the AS9110C Standard further establishes the recognition of the global aviation industry for the Group's operations and represents a major upgrade for our aviation maintenance units. I strongly believe this will open the door to new potential customers for the company."
