1 April 2020:FL ARI, an MRO service provider and a joint venture between China Aircraft Leasing Group (CALC), it's mid to end-of-life aircraft solutions arm Aircraft Recycling International (ARI), and FL Technics has recently received its certification as EASA Part 145 Maintenance Organization. FL ARI is now cleared to provide line maintenance support for aircraft from the Boeing 737 NG series to Airbus A320 families.
"We are happy that the joint venture company FL ARI has become the first independent MRO organisation in Northeast China to receive EASA Part 145 certification for line maintenance services. This certification will enable us to share FL Technics' know-how and best practices, which we have acquired through 20 years of working globally in MRO. It is forecast that the aviation industry in China would be one of the fastest growing in the world over the next ten years. In the nearest future, FL ARI will extend its MRO capability by receiving EASA Part 145 certification for base maintenance services as well," said Donatas Dockus, CEO of FL ARI.
"Receiving EASA Part 145 Maintenance Organization certification from the EASA is an honour and the result of hard work and effort from all of the partners involved. Thanks to the excellence and experience of CALC Group and our partners, and the support from the EASA, FLARI could now provide excellent line maintenance in China. I have no doubt that the FL ARI team will bring the highest work ethic and business standards to Asia's aviation market, and that, by joining together the resources of CALC Group and FL Technics' experience, FL ARI will become a significant force in MRO services in China," said Mr. Mike Poon, CEO of CALC and ARI.
