China, Singapore Ink Maintenance Licence Deal

: Aug 22, 2019 - : 5:18 am

China’s civil aviation regulator and its counterpart in Singapore have signed a technical arrangement on aviation maintenance, said the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) on its website.

The deal will see reduced administrative hassle in obtaining each other’s maintenance licences, among other benefits.

It is the first time that the CAAC has signed a mutual recognition agreement on continuous airworthiness maintenance with another country,

The new agreement means that after obtaining the maintenance license from the civil aviation authority of their own country, MRO units can obtain a license from the civil aviation authority of the other side through simple procedures, without undergoing an on-site examination by the civil aviation authority of the other side, the CAAC explained.

The signing of the agreement can supplement China’s maintenance service system, and helps China’s maintenance industry to explore the international market and improve its competitiveness, the CAAC said.

There are 43 aviation maintenance firms in Singapore that hold Chinese maintenance licences, which allow them to perform maintenance on aircraft and components fitted onto Chinese-registered aircraft. These include the MRO arms of airlines, as well as authorised maintenance companies from manufacturers. Conversely, there are 26 Chinese aviation maintenance firms that are licensed to perform maintenance work on Singapore-registered aircraft.

The cooperation with CAAS is also one step for the CAAC to improve its competitiveness internationally, the agency adds.
