MOJAVE, California — BAE Systems’ Federal Aviation Administration-certified maintenance and repair facility in Mojave has achieved the highest level of certification conferred by the International Aerospace Quality Group.
BAE Systems is among the first aerospace companies in the nation to receive AS9110 registration by BSI Management Systems of Reston, Virginia, an international standards, testing, registration, and certification organization. By obtaining the certification, BAE Systems demonstrates that it consistently meets customer and regulatory requirements.
Leaders of the BAE Systems Mojave business will receive the accreditation certificate on Tuesday, Feb. 20, at 2 p.m. at the company’s Shibley Hall, Building 56 at the Mojave Airport.
