CHINA-SINGAPORE-AVIATION-MAINTENANCE
China, Singapore sign technical arrangement on aviation maintenance
BEIJING, Aug. 22, 2019 (BSS/Xinhua) – 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 Wednesday.
It is the first time that the CAAC has signed a mutual recognition
agreement on continuous airworthiness maintenance with another country, the
CAAC said.
The arrangement, the Technical Arrangement on Aviation Maintenance between
CAAC and Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore, was signed Tuesday in
Kathmandu, Nepal, according to the CAAC.
Now 43 maintenance units in Singapore have obtained CAAC maintenance
licenses and 26 maintenance units in China hold Singapore maintenance
licenses.
The new agreement means that after obtaining the maintenance license from
the civil aviation authority of their own country, the maintenance 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.
