The new HAECO Xiamen maintenance facility will combine innovation, green design and advanced technology to achieve optimum energy utilization and operational efficiency.
HAECO Xiamen, a member of the HAECO Group, conducted a groundbreaking ceremony to commence the construction of its new aircraft maintenance facility at Xiamen Xiang’an International Airport. HAECO’s comprehensive suite of aircraft engineering services includes airframe services, line services, parts manufacturing, design engineering, certification, and technical training.
The new under-construction maintenance facility will combine innovation, green design and advanced technology to achieve optimum energy utilization and operational efficiency. The hanger will have 12 wide-body and six narrow-body maintenance bays as well as two separate painting bays to provide flexible parking for multiple aircraft types and different maintenance needs. Once the construction is completed, HAECO Xiamen will be the largest single-span aircraft maintenance hangar in the world.
The construction project has been designed from the outset to optimize operational efficiency and maximize space utilization, helping to reduce aircraft maintenance turnaround times and improve punctuality to meet its customers’ maintenance schedules. The innovative ‘center-axle’ design connects the hangars and ancillary buildings, facilitating logistics management and resource sharing.
