Air India, a prominent player in India’s aviation sector, has achieved a significant milestone with the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) granting approval for the engineering line maintenance of Airbus A350 and A320 aircraft. This regulatory approval is pivotal for the seamless operation and maintenance of the six A350 aircraft slated to join Air India’s fleet, with the first arrival expected by the end of December 2023.
The Civil Aviation Requirement (CAR) 145 certification from DGCA is a rigorous process ensuring that Air India’s Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) processes, systems, and controls adhere to strict airworthiness standards. This approval not only enables Air India’s engineering team to conduct line maintenance on the A350 and A320 but also signifies their competence in performing maintenance tasks safely and effectively.
