ADE achieves milestone with 100th C-check in record time

In celebration of International Civil Aviation Day, Asia Digital Engineering (ADE), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Capital A Berhad specialising in aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO), has marked a significant accomplishment by successfully completing its 100th C-check within a timeframe of two-and-a-half years since its establishment in September 2020.

A C-check, recognised as a meticulous examination involving critical aircraft components and systems, is a comprehensive maintenance inspection crucial for ensuring the airworthiness and safety of an aircraft. ADE’s achievement underscores its steadfast commitment to maintaining top-tier safety and operational standards in aviation maintenance, solidifying its position as a leading MRO player in the region.

Mahesh Kumar, CEO of Asia Digital Engineering, expressed gratitude, stating, “I extend my sincere thanks to all our engineers, technicians, and the entire ADE team for reaching this milestone within a short span. Their exceptional skill, professionalism and resilience have played a pivotal role in accomplishing this remarkable feat. I take pride in their unwavering dedication, relentless efforts, and firm commitment to excellence in aircraft maintenance, believing that we are on track to establish ourselves as the leading MRO service provider in Asean, delivering optimal value with high efficiency across the Asia Pacific region and beyond.”

ADE’s commitment to maintaining the highest quality and safety standards in aircraft MRO is highlighted by various milestones, including the recent acquisition of EASA Part 145 approval from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). This approval complements an extensive range of existing maintenance certifications and authorisations. As part of its expansion strategy, ADE is strategically increasing its facilities footprint, with a new hangar at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) set to be operational by the third quarter of 2024. This facility will significantly enhance base maintenance capacity, accommodating up to 14 narrow-body aircraft simultaneously. Expansion plans also include advancing line maintenance operations in Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines and Cambodia in 2024.
