HAECO Xiamen is building the world’s largest single-span hangar at the new Xiamen Xiang’an International Airport. The 537,300 square-metre maintenance facility will accommodate 12 wide-body and 6 narrow-body maintenance bays, plus 2 separate painting bays, and will utilise green design and advanced technology to maximise both energy and operational efficiency.
An innovative ‘centre-axle’ design connects the hangar with ancillary buildings, to facilitate logistics management and resource sharing. The new facility is also aiming for LEED-NC [Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for New Construction] gold certification, with the use of solar power, intelligent building management systems, intelligent lighting controls, water storage and air conditioning, as well as advanced wastewater and air treatment systems.
The project, which is due to complete in 2025, is the HAECO Group’s largest single investment to date, underscoring HAECO's commitment to investing on the Chinese Mainland and continuing to grow its business in the region.
