What you'll learn
- Every military aircraft that a European state keeps available depends on maintenance that someone is legally entitled to perform and certify, and as European states rebuild their military capacity, the question of who may perform that work across national borders becomes a question of usable capacity.
- Europe’s military airworthiness authorities have worked for more than a decade on a common European model of maintenance requirements.
- It would be natural to assume that this alignment has produced a single maintenance market in which an approved supplier in one country can work on another country’s military aircraft.
