Asia Digital Engineering (ADE), the maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) subsidiary of Capital A, has been awarded two of the highest international recognitions in the aviation industry—maintenance organisation approval (EASA.145.0967) from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), and repair station certification (ADNY458E) from the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
These certifications are more than a badge of compliance—they are a testament to ADE's rigorous adherence to the world's most stringent safety, airworthiness, and operational standards. ADE is now officially recognised by both EASA and the FAA as an organisation that upholds the highest global standards to maintain and release aircraft, parts, and components back into service under their respective regulations.
Mahesh Kumar, Chief Executive Officer of Asia Digital Engineering, commented: “These milestones reinforce our position as a leading MRO in the region and underscore Malaysia's growing role as a major hub for aviation maintenance. While we remain the primary MRO for AirAsia, we now support a growing portfolio of airlines across the region and beyond — delivering world-class, safe, and high-quality, value-driven maintenance on a global scale. These certifications enable us to offer our services to even more airlines internationally. None of this would be possible without the unwavering dedication, discipline, and expertise of our Allstars. The credit truly goes to them.”
