AST Receives Parts Manufacturer Approval Certificate from Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport
AST has received a Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) certificate for aviation components and other items from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.
According to AST on July 9, this PMA certification is related to the B777 conversion project ordered in 2022 by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), Israel's state-owned defense company, and covers a total of 6,395 items.
In particular, compared to previous cases in the domestic aviation sector where PMA certification typically applied to only one to about ten items, this is a certification for an exceptionally wide range of components. Through this certification, AST has demonstrated its capabilities in both large-scale aircraft component manufacturing quality and certification compliance, making this achievement highly significant.

An AST official stated, "The IAI project for which we obtained PMA certification falls under the aircraft conversion MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) segment. Unlike our existing business, which manufactures and supplies parts according to customer requirements, this high value-added project requires both design and manufacturing certification. Since receiving the order in 2022, we have continuously worked to secure production technology, verify compliance with certification requirements, and establish manufacturing and quality assurance systems. Based on these efforts, we have been carrying out full-scale deliveries since last year."
