Deer Jet Obtains U.S. FAA Repair Station Approval

Deer Jet has received FAA repair station approval, clearing the way for the Beijing-based company to perform maintenance on U.S.-registered aircraft. With the nod, Deer Jet becomes one of only 45 U.S.-approved maintenance organizations in Mainland China, the company said.

The approval, for Deer Jet's Beijing facility, will strengthen the company's position in China as a service organization, it added, citing increasing demand for maintenance with the continued globalization of air travel. In addition to Beijing, Deer Jet operates maintenance facilities in Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong and is an authorized maintenance organization for Gulfstream, Dassault Falcon, and Honeywell in Mainland China. Deer Jet further has formed strategic partnerships to serve as a distributor for Honeywell and Rockwell Collins.

U.S certification followed an evaluation for compliance with regulations and safe operating practices, Deer Jet said, noting the inspections covered the facilities, personnel, equipment, and operating rules.
