In December, China Airlines (CAL) and HAECO ITM Limited (HAECO ITM) entered into an agreement for a long-term rotable management programme for the airline’s 10-strong Boeing 777-300ER fleet. The programme will cover a range of line-replaceable units (LRUs) and simulator parts. Under the agreement, HAECO ITM will support CAL with comprehensive component solutions that include repair management, provision of onsite consignment stock in Taipei, as well as access to HAECO ITM’s extensive inventory pool in Hong Kong.

“Underpinning this deal is HAECO ITM’s extensive technical know-how and operational experience with the Boeing 777-300ER fleet. In addition, CAL can leverage HAECO ITM’s close proximity to Taipei and excellent connectivity out of Hong Kong International Airport to ensure the high levels of service required by CAL to maintain our fleet performance”, said CJ Huang, Senior Vice President Engineering & Maintenance Organisation of China Airlines.
