SriLankan affirms no equipment sourced from AOG Technics

• Says AOG Technics was on approved supplier list but removed from September 2023

SriLankan Airlines yesterday affirmed that it has not sourced any equipment from AOG Technics. 
The entity was removed from the supplier list a few 
months back.
In a statement to the media yesterday, SriLankan Airlines said that in a subsequent scheduled European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) audit, it was specifically asked if AOG Technics was a supplier. At the time, SriLankan Airlines confirmed that AOG Technics was on the airline’s approved supplier list. However, the airline was also able to confirm that it had no record of any direct purchase made from AOG Technics.
Further, AOG Technics was removed from SriLankan Airlines’ approved supplier list in September 2023.
“In light of the current social media allegations, we have had our audit and engineering quality departments complete independent audits and confirm our records. 

We have further obtained letters from our two key service providers in the areas under question, CFM Materials and GE Engine Services Malaysia Sdn Bhd, confirming that they have not supplied the airline with any parts purchased from AOG Technics,” SriLankan Alines said.
The Civil Aviation Authority of the UK and EASA issued safety notices to alert owners, operators, maintenance organisations and distributors of suspected unapproved parts distributed by AOG Technics on August 4, 2023.  
“The aviation industry is highly regulated and SriLankan Airlines undergoes multiple audits from the Civil Aviation Authority of Sri Lanka and international entities to ensure that safety is never compromised,” SriLankan Airlines said.
