Paris, Amstelveen, 03 November 2015 - AFI KLM E&M Components China, a wholly owned AIR FRANCE KLM subsidiary, was established in Shanghai in 2013 to repair avionics components and was CAAC-certified in November of that year. Recently in 2015, EASA, the European Aviation Safety Agency also awarded the China subsidiary EASA Part-145 approval under number EASA.145.0721.
"This is a very important certification for us, said Vincent D'Andréa, SVP Components Product AFI KLM E&M, especially in view of the strict requirements of Chinese airlines that contract work only to shops with CAAC, EASA and/or FAA certification. The approval will be a genuine asset in upcoming tender processes in the quest for increased market share".
