Their professional expertise and proven excellence in engine heavy maintenance have earned our utmost confidence and respect.
“As we begin this 14-engine maintenance programme, we look forward to deepening our technical collaboration and strengthening our partnership with ST Engineering. With their extensive repair capabilities and comprehensive MRO expertise, we are confident in achieving outstanding repair quality while optimising turnaround times.”
Tay Eng Guan, senior vice president and head of engine services at ST Engineering, said: “Our longstanding partnership with Hebei Airlines reflects the strong trust that Chinese airlines and operators place in ST Engineering to help enhance engine performance and lifecycle value.
“Given our established facility and strong track record in Xiamen, we are able to provide Hebei Airlines and other operators with high-quality, reliable engine MRO support that is responsive to their operational needs.”
