ST Engineering and Airbus joint venture Elbe Flugzeugwerke GmbH (EFW) has received the EASA Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation (CAMO) approval from the Federal Aviation Office of Germany, resulting in EFW now offering worldwide airworthiness management and technical services for all passenger and freighter aircraft to aircraft lessors, owners and operators.
EFW says that beyond the company assuming overall responsibility of keeping the aircraft airworthy, aircraft owners and operators can enjoy an efficient airworthiness review process for import, export, and re-registration of passenger and freighter aircraft as well as credible, fast and cost-efficient aircraft registration for aircraft lease transitions.
According to EFW, as the only freighter conversion provider in the world to hold the CAMO approval together with three other major aviation technical approvals, including Part 145 Approval, Design Organisation Approval and Production Organisation Approval certifications, EFW is well placed to offer turnkey solutions in design development, freighter conversion, maintenance, aviation supply chain management and CAMO support under one roof.
The company also received the additional Airworthiness Review privilege for Airbus widebody and single-aisle aircraft from the Federal Aviation Office of Germany as part of the CAMO approval.
