PrivatAir GmbH Gets Tick in European Regulatory
Box with JAR 145 Approval
Swiss-headquartered PrivatAir's German affiliate has just gained
JAR 145 maintenance approval for its Dusseldorf base, allowing
it to offer line maintenance services to third parties. Certification
will be the springboard to expansion of services with the establishment
of maintenance stations at Hamburg (Germany) and Filton (UK) for
Airbus A319/A320/A321 corporate airliners-employing either IAE
V2500 or CFM56 turbofans. The locations are based on PrivatAir's
current personnel shuttle operations for Airbus Industrie, using
A319s between Airbus manufacturing centers in France (Toulouse),
Germany and the UK. Additionally, the company serves Newark and
Chicago under contract to Lufthansa, flying a 48-seat BBJ. PrivatAir
is also a major operator in the United States, with a fleet of
over 50 aircraft, ranging from King Air to Boeing 757.
