Jat Tehnika becomes Superjet maintenance centre
NEWS FLASH
Serbian aircraft maintenance specialist Jat Tehnika has become Europe’s first maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) organisation to win approval for the line and base maintenance of the Russian-made Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft. The company said it secured EASA Part 145 approval for the type on November 12. The approval covers its Belgrade base and its line stations at other airports. The CEO of Jat Tehnika, Miroslav Musulin, said, “Jat Tehnika continues its strategic goal to be among the most advanced MRO players in the market for state-of-the-art aircraft such as the Boeing MAX, the Airbus neo and now the Superjet 100”. The company said approval was achieved “with the support of SuperJet International in terms of necessary personnel training, spares and technical services”. The CEO of SuperJet International, Stedano Marazzani, said the partnership with Jat Tehnika will “give greater access to flexible maintenance services” for SSJ100 operators. Jat Tehnika was sold to the Czech Avia Prime Group last week.
Air Serbia is considering ordering SSJ100s and Irkut MC-21 aircraft according to the First Deputy Head of the Russian Government Office, Sergei Prikhodko. The Serbian carrier itself has not commented on the matter. According to Mr Prikhodko, the deal would likely include the establishment of an SSJ100 after-sales service centre which would be jointly managed by Jat Tehnika and plane-maker United Aircraft Corporation.
