    There are many places things get done for refurbishment of seats and interiors - lots in China.

    All places doing heavy C and D checks are FAA certified, for US registered airlines regardless of where they do the work.

    Delta Techops does lots of work on their own planes and others.

    Small airlines won’t be able to afford to run their own heavy check facilities and will certainly outsource.
