Technodinamika to open Russian component repair centre in 2016

In anticipation of gaining EASA Part 145 and Russia’s FAP 145 certificates in February 2016, Technodinamika is set to open a component maintenance center close to Moscow’s Vnukovo International Airport, with the Company confirming that the space is ready. As part of Russian state-owned Rostec, Technodinamika was created back in 2009 from 36 individual companies located in a number of cities, including: Moscow, Ufa, Samara and Yekaterinburg and which, up until then, were all following their own research and development strategies. The idea behind the creation of this company came from Russian Technologies which wanted to see a Russian company enter into the international aircraft engineering industry to subsequently partner with a number of leading Russian aircraft companies.
The initial set up will involve the repair of navigation, communication and oxygen equipment, along with de-icing, fire prevention and kitchen equipment for planes including the Sukhoi Superjet, the Boeing 737 and the Airbus A320. Its future plans include obtaining gaining Part 21 certification as well as adding MC-21 components. The company’s strategic plans for the end of 2015 will see it aim to become an integrator of nine systems – landing gear, rescue equipment, parachutes and landing platforms, launchers, escape facilities, ground facilities, power supply systems, oxygen systems and auxiliary power units. Within the next five years Technodinamika intends to include engine start systems and booster power plants, lighting facilities and hydraulic systems.
The Company CEO, Oleg Vassilyev, confirmed it chose the location of Vnukovo as it is “easily accessible for our clients; also the airport could provide us with appropriate spaces.”
The company’s products are installed on all Russian-made aircraft, including the Tu-204/214, Il-114, An-148, Tu-154, Il-96, Yak-42; transport aircraft Il-76, An-124, Be-200, Tu-204C and helicopters Mi-8/17, Ka-27/29/31, Ka-26, Mi-26, Mi-34, Ka-226, Ansat and Mi-38. Technodinamika’s principal customers currently include the United Aircraft Corporation, Russian Helicopters, Sukhoi, United Engine Corporation and a number of Russian airlines, such as Aeroflot, Sibir, UTair, Russia and Transaero.
