FiatAvio Gets Certifications for Added Engine Maintenance
FiatAvio Maintenance Repair & Overhaul has been granted
certification from various civil aviation authorities to maintain
CFM56-3 and CFM56-7 powering Boeing 737s. The Italian company
already held approvals for the JT8D-200, PW100 family, and CF56-5B.
For the new engine certifications, FiatAvio has been aggressively
pursuing business in China, other countries in Asia, the Middle
East and Europe. Late last year, FiatAvio signed two multi-year
contracts covering about 60 CFM56-3s engines used by Italian airlines
Blue Panorama and Air One Airlines. Italian airlines make up about
60% of the company's business volume.
