Lufthansa Technik Design Organization
receives EASA Part 21/J approval
for Airbus A350
The Lufthansa Technik Design Organization
has extended its scope of work under the
company’s existing Part 21/J approval of the
European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to
include the Airbus A350. The MRO provider
is thus authorized to develop and approve
minor repairs and changes on its own authority.
This privilege accelerates the approval
process significantly and can be decisive in
operational terms, for example with respect
to dispatch reliability or cancellations. Aircraft
maintenance is typically carried out
in accordance with the manuals. However,
if an MRO provider has an approval under
Part 21/J, then it can independently approve
minor repairs without having to involve the
respective authority. While the design approvals
of the EASA Design Organization are

basically limited to the scope of the European
Union’s authority for aviation safety, they can
also be used outside of the EASA, provided
the respective national authority recognizes

the European approvals. Since this is the case
in many countries, the actual impact of the
approval extends significantly beyond the
scope of the EASA.
