CSO coordinates maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) through partnership with PAC and eight original equipment manufacturers at Parker Aerospace. CSO has been recognized for a high on-time delivery rate of ARJ21 spares and ground support equipment.

Parker provides the fuel, fuel tank inerting, hydraulic and flight control actuation systems for COMAC’s ARJ21 aircraft.
Parker Aerospace’s Vice President of Customer Support Operations Victor Jorcyk said: “Through the efforts of our support team in China, we have expanded MRO capabilities utilizing our joint ventures and expansion of our in-country pooling offering. It is an honor to be recognized by COMAC as we continue to expand our in-country presence and capabilities.”
Out of more than 300 COMAC suppliers, Parker is one of only two recipients of the award. “We are excited to be recognized for the effort to support COMAC and airlines on the ARJ21 program,” said Tien. “This would not be possible without close teamwork among CSO, the aerospace OEM divisions, and the on-site PAC team.
