Broussard, Louisiana-headquartered Arrow Aviation has received certification approval as a Chinese Part 145 maintenance organisation from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC). This expansion adds to Arrow's already long list of maintenance certification approvals, which currently includes the FAA, South Korea's MOLIT, EASA and Brazil's ANAC.

“Receiving this certification from CAAC is an honour and the result of much hard work and effort by all involved,” says general manager David Guidry. “We appreciate the support extended to us by CAAC during this certification process and look forward to supporting the aviation community in China with exceptional service.”

Arrow Aviation operates from a modern 80,000 sq ft facility where it provides helicopter maintenance and completion services to the commercial, offshore, corporate, emergency medical and private aviation sectors of the helicopter industry. Since 1997, the company has been committed to providing quality services at reasonable prices as a fully integrated turnkey company. Arrow Aviation is a Leonardo excellence service centre, Bell Helicopter Textron customer service centre, Airbus Helicopters service centre and Sikorsky authorised maintenance centre.
