ADE Cambodia receives AMO certification

Asia Digital Engineering (ADE), the Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) subsidiary of Capital A, has released that ADE Cambodia Co Ltd (ADE Cambodia), a joint venture with Sivilai Asia, has received the approved maintenance organisation (AMO) certification from the Cambodian State Secretariat of Civil Aviation (SSCA). This achievement marks a significant milestone as it is the first ADE entity outside Malaysia to obtain business approvals in the country.

ADE Cambodia will play a crucial role in supporting the aviation ecosystem in Cambodia, leveraging its expertise to provide MRO services not only to AirAsia Cambodia but also to other airlines operating in Cambodia’s major airports.

Mahesh Kumar, CEO of Asia Digital Engineering, said: “We are delighted to have received approvals to commence operations of ADE Cambodia. We look forward to providing top-notch MRO solutions to airlines operating to and from Cambodia, in addition to supporting Cambodia’s thriving aviation industry, which will positively impact the local economy and create job opportunities in the country. We would like to record our sincere appreciation to the Cambodia State Secretariat of Civil Aviation (SSCA) and the Cambodian Government for their warm welcome and recognition of our capabilities. Looking ahead, we are committed to investing further in state-of-the-art technologies, enhancing our capabilities, and developing a skilled workforce at our facility. This also marks the beginning of our growth journey in 2024, as we gear up to expand to other countries soon.”

ADE Cambodia operations will be headquartered at Phnom Penh International Airport, Cambodia’s busiest airport and primary international gateway, but will expand to other airports in Cambodia as well. This strategic location positions ADE Cambodia to efficiently serve the aviation needs of the region, leveraging the airport’s vital role in connecting Cambodia with the world.

Established in 2020, ADE has earned customer trust through its professional MRO services, digital products, glowing testimonials and partnerships with airlines across the region. In December 2023, ADE completed its 100th C-check within 2.5 years, setting a record time frame since inception. Looking ahead, ADE is focused on its vision to continually deliver exceptional services, expand capabilities, and remain at the forefront of the MRO industry. ADE’s state-of-the-art 14-line hangar in Kuala Lumpur is scheduled to be launched in Q3 this year, further enhancing its ability to serve clients with excellence and efficiency.

ADE’s dedication to maintaining the utmost quality and safety standards in aircraft MRO is emphasised by a string of milestones. Among these achievements stands the attainment of the EASA Part 145 approval from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), complementing an extensive array of existing maintenance certifications and authorisations.
