Alberta-based Avio Design Group recently received design approval organization (DAO) certification authority from Transport Canada. This certification will allow the company to expand its design, engineering, and certification services for fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft.

“We offer significant experience in providing superior fit, form, and function design, and we look forward to new project partnerships ranging from modifications and part design to repair approvals on aircraft,” said Avio managing partner Keith Rach. “We are looking to be a leading provider by offering a catalogue of supplemental type certificates to help support the aviation industry.”

DAO certification allows Avio Design Group to complete its aircraft services at one time in less downtime. Some of the company’s customers include Yellowhead Helicopters, Skye Avionics Limited, Regent Aircraft Services, Black Tusk Helicopter, Chippewa Aerospace, and Saskatoon Avionics.
