GKN Aerospace certified for repairing Chinese customers' transparencies

GKN Aerospace today announced that it has received certification from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) to perform repair and overhaul of transparencies (windshields and cabin windows) for Chinese customers.

The approval was granted after an in-depth audit of GKN’s 324,000 square feet Garden Grove facility. This FAA and EASA certified facility for transparencies includes a specialised repair station for windshields and cabin windows of major customers like Airbus, Boeing and Saab.

The new CAAC certification further strengthens the position of GKN Aerospace in the transparencies market.
