Engineering and maintenance provider, HAECO has expanded its long-running maintenance cooperation with Atlas Air through a new set of agreements covering line and base maintenance support in Hong Kong.

The latest deal builds on a partnership spanning more than 25 years between the two companies. Under the renewed terms, HAECO will continue providing line maintenance support for Atlas Air from 2026 to 2030, while increasing its on-site manpower to help reduce aircraft ground time and improve turnaround efficiency for the carrier’s Hong Kong operations.

HAECO has also secured an extension for base maintenance support covering Atlas Air’s Boeing 747 fleet from 2028 to 2030 at its Hong Kong base maintenance facility.

The agreement gives Atlas Air longer-term maintenance certainty in a key operating location, while also creating scope for additional capacity commitments as the airline continues to grow.

Atlas Air, headquartered in White Plains, New York, is the world’s largest outsourced aviation logistics provider and operates the industry’s biggest fleet of Boeing 747 freighters.

For HAECO, the latest extension reinforces its long-standing role in supporting freighter operators through line and heavy maintenance services in Asia.

Gerald Steinhoff, chief commercial officer at the HAECO Group, said: “Atlas Air’s teams rely on fast, predictable support wherever they operate, and that starts with listening closely to what they need.

“We work side by side to understand their priorities and shape the right maintenance support around them – so they can keep cargo moving with confidence. This renewed commitment reflects how we put customers first: we listen, we understand, and we lead with reliable solutions built for long-term partnership.”

Rich Steer, vice president of technical operations at Atlas Air, said: “As Atlas Air continues to grow and evolve, our partnership with HAECO remains a key enabler of our technical operations strategy, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region.

“Their proven track record and commitment to excellence make them an ideal partner as we scale to meet increasing global demand and our customers.”

The news was announced during the MRO Americas 2026 event in Orlando.
