ExecuJet Haite Aviation Services China Co. Ltd (ExecuJet Haite) has signed an agreement with Capital Airport Holding Business Aviation Management Co. Ltd (CBM) to operate the new MRO facility at Beijing Daxing International Airport (PKX).
The MRO facility is already built and is co-located within the airport’s 300,000sqm business aviation area, the largest in Asia Pacific.
The agreement allows ExecuJet Haite to operate the 5,000sqm state-of-the-art maintenance hangar including back shops and offices at PKX.
The facility will support various original aircraft manufacturers (OEMs) and aircraft types under Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) and certifications from overseas national aviation authorities as it currently does at its Tianjin MRO facility.
ExecuJet Haite in Tianjin is certified by the CAAC, European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). It is also certified by the authorities of Cayman
Islands, Bermuda and Aruba.
Paul Desgrosseilliers, general manager of ExecuJet Haite, said: “The infrastructure at Beijing Daxing International Airport is second to none and we are absolutely delighted to immediately start
supporting business aircraft at the airport and working cooperatively with CBM to create a world class business aviation hub and destination.”
Li Yingyong, general manager of CBM, said: “This new agreement will bring the combined FBO and MRO business aviation expertise of both companies together to work in unison towards the
further development of China’s business aviation market and specifically enhance maintenance services and support at Beijing Daxing International Airport to the benefit of both of our shared
customers.”
CBM already provides high-level FBO services to business jets and travellers at PKX and Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK) and will work together with ExecuJet Haite to further develop PKX as an industry leading business jet base and entry point into the dynamic Chinese market.
A large proportion of the 300,000sqm business aviation centre is used for FBO and FBO-related activities. There is also an 11,000sqm FBO building, an area for business jet ramp parking, and five other 5,000sqm hangars all dedicated to aircraft parking.
ExecuJet Haite is 100 per cent owned by Chinese conglomerate Haite. ExecuJet MRO Services and Dassault have no equity stake in ExecuJet Haite. ExecuJet Haite is a franchise of ExecuJet MRO Services.
