Associated Air Center receives ODA

By Janice Wood · January 18, 2010 ·

Associated Air Center, the completions center for transport-category VIP aircraft, and a key business unit of StandardAero, has successfully transitioned its Designated Alteration Station (DAS) to Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) at its Dallas location.

“This new type of FAA designation provides increased FAA delegation to our Dallas facility that will result in greater support efficiencies for AAC projects; a major milestone for the company and an important step towards achieving AAC’s future goals,“ said Jack Lawless, COO of StandardAero and president of Associated Air Center.

Associated Air Center uses a team of engineers, technologists, pilots and other industry professionals to provide design and certification services leading to the issuance of Supplemental Type Certificates for alterations and modifications on a broad range of transport-category VIP aircraft. Modifications to these aircraft include completion of VVIP interiors and cabin entertainment systems on “green” aircraft.
