Zurich, Switzerland, SR Technics, part of the Mubadala Aerospace Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) network, has received Production Organization Approval from the Swiss Federal Office for Civil Aviation (FOCA), enabling SR Technics to take aircraft interior design and engineering  major jobs.

All interior design and engineering will be carried out at SR Technics’ VIP Completion Centre in Zurich, which opened last year. The first aircraft to undergo the SR Technics’ VIP experience arrived in the third quarter of 2011.

James Stewart, Group Chief Executive Officer of the Mubadala Aerospace MRO Network said: “Throughout this year, 130 SR Technics’ employees across all areas and levels have been trained on how to implement the new Production Organization processes. This approval is the foundation of our VIP business as it enables us to move from pure repair and overhaul, into the production arena, not only for VIP but for all clients.”

André Wall, President Europe of the MRO network, continues: “Our VIP team continually create unique visual, textural and experiential interiors that truly reflect our customer’s vision. Our craftsmen’s passion and dedication for realizing luxurious finishes, demanded in the business jet environment will become reality.”

Under the terms of the approval, SR Technics is now licensed to manufacture and certify the following categories of aeronautical parts with a European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Form 1:

• Cabinets, to include: Interior equipment cabinets and furnishings
