Panama Aerospace Engineering (PAE) now has local certification to do heavy maintenance checks on Embraer 190s and has just completed its first 'C-check' on this aircraft type.
A spokeswoman in Singapore for PAE's parent Singapore Technologies Aerospace says the Panamanian maintenance, repair and overhaul firm received Panamanian certification last month to do heavy maintenance checks on E-190s.
She says since then it has completed its first 'C-check' on an E-190 and this particular aircraft was from Panamanian carrier Copa Airlines.
The spokeswoman also says PAE in February received US FAA certification to do heavy maintenance checks on Airbus A320s.
