Completions Firm RAS Earns EASA Part 145 Approval

Aircraft completions firm RAS has received EASA Part 145 repair station approval for its operation based at London Biggin Hill Airport. The approval follows RAS’s acquisition by Avia Solutions Group’s MRO provider, Jet MS, earlier this year.

With the EASA approval, RAS said, it can continue to serve its European client base after the UK’s departure from the European Union last December. Since January, RAS held UK Civil Aviation Authority Part 145 approval. RAS’s aircraft interiors and exteriors work includes paintwork protection, aircraft interior design, aircraft seating, helicopter painting, military aircraft painting and coatings, aircraft galleys, and cabin stowage.

“Resulting from months of close coordination between RAS and our appointed EASA surveyor, RAS is very pleased to receive the official confirmation of our EASA Part 145 approval,” said RAS quality manager Beverley Winter. “This is a testament to the RAS culture of continual improvement and our dedication to ensuring we continue to support our European customers, both current and future.”
