1,000th input
ISSUE 37
Mar 2020
HAECO Xiamen has recently celebrated the 1,000th aircraft input milestone from the Cathay Pacific Group. The company hosted a reception in January to mark the redelivery of the Cathay Pacific Boeing 747-8F aircraft (B-LJB), attended by officials from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) Xiamen, the Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department (HKCAD), as well as Cathay Pacific management.
Speaking at the event, Cathay Pacific’s Director, Engineering, Mr Neil Glenn, said that the airline’s relationship with HAECO Xiamen is a very important and highly-valued one: “Over the past 24 years, the two companies have worked together and grown together, as business partners, colleagues, and friends.”
The enduring partnership between the two companies dates back to 1996, when HAECO Xiamen commenced operations. Over the past two decades, HAECO Xiamen has provided airframe services, line services, passenger-to-freighter conversions, and cabin modifications on a wide range of aircraft types for the Cathay Pacific Group, including the Boeing 747 and 777, as well as the Airbus A320, A330 and A340 aircraft. The company will continue to raise its safety and quality standards, and to provide the Cathay Pacific Group with best-in-class MRO services. HAECO Xiamen will commence maintenance checks for Cathay Pacific’s A350 fleet in mid-2020.
