Yakutia Airlines : R3 : SVL

Russia’s Air Company Yakutia selected Lufthansa Consulting to assist in the thorough preparation for the IATA Operational Safety Audit, IOSA.

Now the airline has also contracted the German aviation experts to support the company in achieving conformity with the EASA Part-145 requirements.

Following the finalization of the first project with the development of twelve operational manuals according to IOSA requirements, Lufthansa Consulting has conducted customized training courses for the airline's operational staff and management.

The coaching measures will increase their knowledge in the field of safety, risk and quality management.

Several courses took place at Air Company Yakutia's premises during March 2010.

Now the new project focuses on advisory support in terms of the aspired EASA Part-145 approval.

The EASA Part-145 Maintenance Organization Regulation issued by the European Aviation Safety Agency EASA is the implementing directive for the aircraft maintenance sector. It defines the requirements to be met by an organization in order to qualify for the issue or continuation of approval for the maintenance of aircraft and components.

Lufthansa Consulting is helping Air Company Yakutia in setting up the right environment for a successful EASA Part-145 certification in its maintenance organization.

The consultants provide on-site guidance on the way to the application for the official audit by defining basic
processes and preparing relevant procedures.

Since material-related activities are the most challenging factor in the airline’s operations, the main focus is put on the appropriate material processes, procedures and supervision towards a well-organized and monitored material
administration.

Air Company Yakutia’s objective is to achieve the EASA Part-145 approval for line maintenance by the end of 2010.
