Under the agreement, ADE will commence heavy maintenance checks on Air France’s Airbus A330-200 aircraft with the first induction scheduled for October 2025, followed by additional checks on a phased basis. These initial aircraft mark the beginning of a broader collaboration, with additional inductions expected in the coming years as the partnership between ADE and Air France continues to expand and deepen.

The agreement was formally signed by Mahesh Kumar, Chief Executive Officer of Asia Digital Engineering and Géry Mortreux, Executive Vice President of Air France Industries. The document exchange was witnessed by YB Senator Tengku Datuk Seri Utama Zafrul Aziz, Minister of Investment, Trade & Industry of Malaysia, and His Excellency Axel Cruau, French Ambassador to Malaysia. 

Tengku Zafrul said, “UN Tourism shared that global international visitor arrivals in 2024 had already reached 99% of pre-pandemic levels. For the same period, Asia Pacific alone registered 627.8 million visitors, which is forecast to increase to 801 million by 2027. Malaysia’s aerospace industry – with our clear growth policies, well-established ecosystem and rule of law – is well-poised to capture that growth. To that end, we welcome partnerships with foreign aircraft providers who see Malaysia’s value proposition as regional services and MRO hub to support their client servicing in this growing region.”

Géry Mortreux, EVP of Air France Industries, said: “We are pleased to enter this partnership with Asia Digital Engineering, whose EASA-certified facilities and highly skilled workforce make them an excellent partner for maintaining our Airbus A330-200 fleet. As Air France expands its network and modernises operations, ADE’s expertise ensures efficient,  world-class maintenance that minimises downtime and maximises performance. We look forward to a strong and enduring collaboration with ADE.”

Mahesh Kumar, CEO of ADE, said: “We are delighted to welcome another world-class airline into our growing portfolio of customers. This partnership with Air France marks a historic milestone not only for ADE but also for Malaysia and the wider Asean aerospace industry. Being entrusted with their aircraft maintenance is a strong testament to the capabilities and competitiveness of our region’s MRO services. We are proud to strengthen Malaysia’s position as a hub for aerospace excellence while supporting Air France’s continued operational reliability.”

Since its establishment in 2020, ADE has built the confidence of airline partners across the region by delivering exceptional MRO services, pioneering digital innovations, and maintaining an unwavering focus on customer satisfaction. In less than five years, the company has completed over 180 base maintenance checks — a track record that highlights both its efficiency and quality.

In May 2025, ADE achieved two of the highest international certifications in aviation: Maintenance Organisation Approval (EASA.145.0967) from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and Repair Station Certificate (ADNY458E) from the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Beyond these, ADE is also recognised as an Approved Maintenance Organisation (AMO) in 10 countries, including Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, the Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam, India, Nepal, Thailand and Myanmar — reinforcing its position as a trusted MRO provider across Asia.

Trax announces Air Europa Express’ successful deployment of expanded eMobility suite

Miami – Trax, a leading global provider of paperless aviation maintenance and engineering software products, announced Air Europa Express’ successful implementation of an expanded suite of Trax’s eMobility applications.

Air Europa Express currently uses multiple Trax eMobility apps to access real-time information for line maintenance functions. However, until recently, the airline relied on a paper-based technical and cabin logbook. Expanding the airline’s selection of eMobility solutions to include the apps in Trax’s Electronic Logbook solution has delivered significant and immediate enhancements to Air Europa Express’ operational efficiency, data accuracy, and maintenance processes across their fleet of 737 aircraft.

The deployment also marks the inaugural operator to implement Trax’s Electronic Logbook under EASA regulations, further signifying regulatory confidence in Trax’s digital solutions and the opportunity for significant adoption of mobile maintenance solutions across European operators. Trax’s Electronic Logbook suite has been in use by FAA and UK CAA-regulated operators for many years.

“The intuitive design of the Electronic Logbook apps has ensured seamless adoption by our crews, bolstering operational safety through real-time, reliable, and accessible data,” said Francisco Borja Mas Boned, Head of Innovation Maintenance Department at Air Europa. “By leveraging these advanced tools, we are optimizing and modernizing our maintenance operations, setting a new standard for innovation in the aviation industry.” 

“Trax appreciates Air Europa Express’ continued enthusiasm for our solutions, including the recent expansion of their selected eMobility apps. We are proud to continue to collaborate with the airline by replacing their previously paper-intensive flight deck and cabin-based processes with a fully digital approach,” said Nelson Perea, Regional Director of EMEA at Trax. “It is incredibly rewarding helping customers implement additional Trax solutions to magnify the benefit we provide to their operations.”

From Raw Data to Strategic Asset

Making Aircraft Maintenance Data Truly Actionable

In the world of aircraft operations, maintenance data is everywhere, logbooks, flight records, work orders, compliance forms, yet too often, it remains underused. This isn’t just inefficient, it’s a missed opportunity.

At MRX Systems, we believe that the true value of maintenance data lies not only in its storage, but in how it’s structured, accessed, and leveraged. Our goal is to turn day-to-day operational data into a strategic asset that helps operators stay compliant, organized, and efficient.

More than compliance – clarity and visibility

Whether you’re managing airworthiness or performing actual maintenance tasks, one of the biggest challenges is keeping track of everything: task deadlines, part replacements, component lifecycles, and documentation. These aren’t just bureaucratic requirements, they directly impact aircraft availability and operational readiness.

MRX Systems provides a unified, cloud-based platform where all this information is centralized, organized, and accessible to everyone involved. This shared environment allows for better communication, fewer errors, and faster decision-making.

Operators can:

  • Quickly access aircraft technical status from anywhere
  • Monitor upcoming maintenance tasks and inspections
  • Maintain digital traceability of all maintenance actions
  • Manage documentation and airworthiness records in one place

Whether you’re a Part-145 organization, a CAMO, or an integrated operator handling both, the goal is the same: reduce time spent chasing information, and increase time spent maintaining safety and reliability.

Turning information into operational confidence

In situations where CAMO and MRO work together (or are part of the same structure), MRX Systems bridges the gap by:

  • Ensuring shared access to aircraft records
  • Reducing redundant data entry between departments
  • Supporting better coordination between planning and execution

MRX Systems helps operators make better use of the information they already have, without adding complexity to their processes.

By combining MRO and CAMO functionality in a simple, cloud-native platform, we aim to bring clarity and control to aircraft maintenance, turning everyday operations into a foundation for better decision-making.

Asia Digital Engineering Secures EASA and FAA Certifications, Cementing Its Status as a World-Class, Multi-Certified Aircraft Maintenance Provider

MALAYSIA, 26 MAY 2024 – Asia Digital Engineering (ADE), the Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) subsidiary of Capital A, proudly announces that it has been awarded two of the highest international recognitions in the aviation industry—Maintenance Organisation Approval (EASA.145.0967) from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), and Repair Station Certificate (ADNY458E) from the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

These certifications are more than a badge of compliance—they are a testament to ADE’s rigorous adherence to the world’s most stringent safety, airworthiness, and operational standards. ADE is now officially recognised by both EASA and the FAA as an organisation that upholds the highest global standards to maintain and release aircraft, parts, and components back into service under their respective regulations.

YB Anthony Loke Siew Fook, Malaysian Minister of Transport, said “Congratulations to Asia Digital Engineering on attaining certifications from EASA and the FAA—two of the most prestigious aviation authorities in the world. These landmark achievements mark a major leap forward not only for ADE but also for Malaysia’s aerospace sector as a whole. It reaffirms our nation’s capability to meet and exceed international standards, and positions Malaysia as a rising global hub for high-quality, dependable aircraft maintenance. I am confident that ADE’s continued growth and excellence will further elevate Malaysia’s standing in the global aerospace industry and inspire other local players to aim higher.”

Mahesh Kumar, Chief Executive Officer of Asia Digital Engineering, said “These milestones reinforce our position as a leading MRO in the region and underscore Malaysia’s growing role as a major hub for aviation maintenance. While we remain the primary MRO for AirAsia, we now support a growing portfolio of airlines across the region and beyond — delivering world-class, safe, and high-quality, value-driven maintenance on a global scale. These certifications enable us to offer our services to even more airlines internationally. None of this would be possible without the unwavering dedication, discipline, and expertise of our Allstars. The credit truly goes to them.”

Tony Fernandes, Chief Executive Officer of Capital A, said “We are incredibly proud of Asia Digital Engineering’s accomplishments, which are consistently reaching new heights. The certification from EASA and the FAA isn’t just a win for ADE—it’s a win for Malaysia and the Asean aviation industry. It shows that once again, our homegrown talent can take on the best in the world.”

Since its establishment in 2020, ADE has earned the trust of airline partners across the region by delivering exceptional MRO services, pioneering digital innovations, and maintaining a strong focus on customer satisfaction. The company has completed over 180 base maintenance checks in under four years, an impressive track record that underscores both speed and quality.

In addition to its EASA and FAA approvals, ADE is an approved maintenance organisation (AMO) in 10 countries, namely Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, the Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam, India, Nepal, Thailand and Myanmar. In October 2023, ADE received its EASA Part 145 Maintenance Organisation approval.

Last year, ADE celebrated a major milestone with the launch of its state-of-the-art 14-line MRO hangar — the largest and most advanced facility in Malaysia. Building on this momentum, ADE RedChain 2, a dedicated workshop and training centre is set to be launched in Q3 this year, further strengthening ADE’s ecosystem and talent development efforts.

As ADE continues to scale new heights, the EASA and FAA certifications not only validate its capabilities but also pave the way for further international expansion — positioning ADE as a go-to MRO partner for airlines worldwide.
