This Flight International Third-Party Airliner Maintenance Directory Part 2 covers Africa, Asia, Australasia and the Pacific Rim. It is an update of the information published in the issue of 6-12 November, 1996.

Part III, covering companies in Europe and the CIS is to be published in our 22-28 October issue. Part I, covering the Americas, was published in our 19-25 February issue.

The tables are arranged in alphabetical order, by company within country. They are designed to provide a simple indication of the level of heavy-maintenance capability offered to other airlines or to operators of other manufacturers' engines or aircraft. A few companies which maintain aircraft and engines may not appear, since they do not meet the criteria of serving third parties or of handling aircraft weighing 5,700kg or more (or their engines).

Companies which specialise in components rather than whole airframes or engines are not included at present. We have chosen not to list those companies which only provide A checks/line maintenance because of current magazine space limitations. This will be reviewed in the future.

Companies which have not received our questionnaire, but which believe they meet those criteria, should contact Flight International if they wish to be included in future editions.
