Russia’s Aviation Service Center to get cabin interior approval

The company offers MRO services on both Russian- and Western-built airliners (UAC)

Aviation Service Center, a subsidiary of Technodinamika Holding, has confirmed its intention to obtain an EASA Part 21 certificate to enable it to work on aircraft cabin interiors. The clearance is expected to be received within two or three years.

“We are working on it, and we will start the process in the near future,” a Technodinamika source told Russian Aviation Insider. “In terms of specific aircraft types, we are following the market and we will work within our target segment, [which calls for] the newest Russian-made aircraft such as the SSJ100 and the MC-21 in the future, the A320 family, and different generations of the Boeing 737. In addition to these, we will also research other market niches.”

Aviation Service Center received its EASA Part 145 approval in April this year, entitling it to provide component maintenance on aircraft registered outside Russia. The company is currently approved to service and repair communication and navigation systems (requires the C3 rating), electrical equipment (C5), interior and utility equipment (C6), oxygen system (C15), and fire extinguishing systems (C18).

“We can, and already do, service components for all the aircraft types listed, both Russian- and Western-built, including the SSJ100,” the source continued. “We are limited by the capability list, which we are planning to expand as part of the scheduled 2018 audit.”

Founded in 2013 in close proximiy to Vnukovo airport, the company also operates under a Russian FAP-285 certificate. Its future plans include receiving a maintenance approval for CFM56 engines.
