OREANDA-NEWS  Aeroflot has received the FAP-21J aircraft technology developer certificate, which allows it to develop modifications and non-standard repairs of aircraft and their components.

According to the company, this gives the right to develop documentation for non-standard repairs of aircraft structures, cabin modifications, systems and power plants, as well as the development of a significant list of Class III components, which include interior elements, household equipment.

Last year, the same certificate was received by the subsidiary of Aeroflot – the provider of maintenance and repair of aircraft Aeroflot Technicians.

The report notes that before the introduction of Western sanctions last year, "to solve atypical issues," Russian airlines sent a request to the aircraft manufacturer or other Western organizations with developer certificates in foreign jurisdictions that developed repair or modification schemes.

"Now the solution of a significant part of these issues is possible with the help of Aeroflot specialists working in close cooperation with maintenance organizations, other development companies, research enterprises, as well as with the aviation authorities of the Russian Federation," the company noted.
