BASEL  – Jet Aviation is pleased to announce that its Completions facility in Basel has been awarded EN9100 certification following an independent audit. 

Jet Aviation’s Completions Center in Basel was recently awarded EN9100 certification in recognition of the development, implementation and continuous improvement of its quality management systems.

 

The EN 9100 certification encompasses a series of standards developed by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) on the basis of ISO 9001, and acts as a clear indication of a company’s demonstrated ability to meet the requirements of both OEMs and customers in design, development, production, installation and servicing. OEMs require their suppliers and sub-contractors to comply with the certification, while for customers, it represents increased assurance and satisfaction.
