Yulista Aviation, Inc. Scores 98.8 on Aerospace and ISO Audit

Yulista Aviation, Inc. (YAI), a Yulista Holding, LLC subsidiary in Huntsville, Alabama, passed their annual Aerospace Quality Management System (QMS) audit for AS9100-2004, AS9110-2003, and ISO 9001-2008 recertification with a score of 98.8 on May 28, 2010.

Bernie Parr, Aviation Manager, and Jason Seyboth, Director of Aviation Operations at YAI, managed the efforts to obtain recertification.

The Aerospace standards certifications include the ISO 9001-2008 certification. YAI originally received the certifications in 2007 and has maintained annual recertification, upgrading from ISO 9001-2000 to ISO 9001-2008 in 2009.

Obtaining such a high score and being recertified requires hard work and attention to detail, and will benefit both YAI and Yulista Management Services, Inc. (YMS).

Parr said that "the AS9110 Aerospace standard is required to perform maintenance and modifications on Department of Defense (DoD) aircraft."

Parr, who is responsible for YAI's internal auditing program and oversees the day-to-day functions of the QMS procedures and processes, says that having the certification "qualifies YAI for contracts requiring this aerospace maintenance standard, of which, only 57 companies currently possess within the United States."

When YAI originally received the certifications, in 2007, it was the seventh company in the United States to obtain the AS9110, and the second company to hold a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Part 145 Repair Station Air Agency Certificate with AS9110 and AS9100 certifications.
