UAE grants Avmax DOA
With GCAA approval under its belt, Avmax can now carry out avionics, electrical modifications, interior modifications, structures modifications and repairs on UAE registered aircraft.

Calgary, Alberta-headquartered Avmax Aviation Services has recently been granted Design Organisation Approval (DOA) by the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The GCAA approval has been granted on the basis of Avmax's existing Transport Canada Design Organisation Approval covering the design and certification of new modifications and repairs on UAE registered aircraft. Under the GCAA approval, Avmax is able to support avionics, electrical modifications, interior modifications, structures modifications and repairs.

“In addition to design and certification services, Avmax's engineering division has a wide range of STCs for regional aircraft, which are now available to operators of A6-registered aircraft. Obtaining UAE GCAA approval is another step in our expanding footprint, which already includes STCs validated with the FAA, EASA, CAAC, AFAC, DGCA India and ECAA,” says Avmax director of engineering Jonathan Stodel.

Avmax's engineering division is a Transport Canada authorised Design Approval Organisation. Avmax has been supporting and operating aircraft around the world for over 40 years.
