The Middle East’s leading aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) provider has become the first organisation in the region to receive a DOA by the EASA for this purpose.
 
“We are pleased to offer Etihad Airways, its equity partners and third party customers the flexibility of making major cabin modifications to their existing fleet with this Part21J EASA approval,” said Jeff Wilkinson, Etihad Airways’ senior vice president, technical.
 
The DOA allows Etihad and its partners to make major changes to cabin interiors, galleys or other interior equipment and related structure, and environmental and electrical systems.
 
Etihad Airways Engineering is an AS9110 certified organisation and holds EASA 145 approval and EASA 21J approval for designing and providing minor changes and repairs.
