Kilavuka Secures KQ EASA Certification to Service European Aircraft

Kenya Airways (KQ) under its Chief Executive Allan Kilavuka received approval from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to provide maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services for European-registered aircraft.

What the EASA Certification Means for KQ

The EASA Part-145 Certification allows KQ to perform both heavy and light maintenance, repairs, and overhauls on certified components for European aircraft. This achievement places KQ among a select group of regional airlines with internationally recognized MRO capabilities.

“With this certification, the airline is now authorized to carry out maintenance, repairs, and overhauls on European-registered aircraft, as well as other jurisdictions that recognize EASA standards,” KQ said in a statement.

The certification also guarantees that parts maintained by Kenya Airways meet global aviation standards and can be installed on aircraft operating worldwide, boosting the airline’s reputation as a trusted MRO service provider.

With this KQ now positions itself in the aviation sector and opens up new business opportunities in aircraft maintenance, potentially driving revenue growth for the airline.
