With strong support and close collaboration from Chengdu Airlines, HES successfully redelivered the first advanced 18,000-pound thrust-class turbofan engine.  HAECO Engine Services (Xiamen) is The Holder of a GE90 GE Branded Services Agreement and an Authorized GE90 Service Provider, and has built a strong reputation for technical excellence, having delivered more than 1,100 GE90 engines to date. The addition of CF34-10A capability reflects HAECO’s continued investment in serving the evolving needs of the Chinese aviation market and a significant milestone in the company's strategic expansion of its engine overhaul capabilities.  In addition to shop-visit overhauls, HES offers a comprehensive range of on-wing and near-wing support services for CF34-10A engines, with spare engine lease services planned for the near future. HES is also further scaling its capacity for the overhaul and repair of GE90, CF34-10A, GP7200, and GE9X with a new 10,000-square-metre facility, scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of 2026. 

HAECO has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Fly Meta Group at the inaugural MRO Greater China held in Beijing in May, marking a step towards closer collaboration in supporting Fly Meta’s growing widebody freighter operations.  The proposed partnership will draw on HAECO’s maintenance network and technical capabilities across a broad range of MRO services, including airframe maintenance, line maintenance, engine services, landing gear, composite materials, and component maintenance and repair for Fly Meta’s Boeing 747F and 777F freighter fleet.  HAECO Engine Services (Xiamen), a GE90 GE Branded Services Agreement holder and authorised GE90 service provider, is expected to provide GE90 engine repair, overhaul, on-wing support and spare engine support, with services on multiple GE90 engines expected to commence in the second half of 2026 following the formalisation of a multi-year Engine Service Agreement. Looking ahead, both parties will explore further opportunities in airframe maintenance across Hong Kong, Xiamen and the wider Greater China region, reinforcing HAECO’s support for Fly Meta’s expanding freighter fleet.

HAECO made a strong impression at the inaugural MRO Greater China, held in Beijing from 26 to 28 May. We unveiled a new booth design that created a fresh, welcoming space for meaningful conversations and relationship-building. At the event, our team engaged with senior representatives from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) and China Aviation Supplies Company (CASC), alongside a constant stream of airline customers and industry partners.  The show proved to be a valuable platform for fostering business partnerships, as we signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Fly Meta Group and Central Airlines on-site. We also used this industry platform to advance strategic initiatives. For example, Tom Owen, our Group Director Corporate Development, met with officials from the Xiamen Free Trade Zone to explore future collaboration opportunities. As an inaugural show for Greater China, MRO Greater China also provided an opportunity for HAECO to build strong visibility. Alex Chen, Group General Manager, Digital and Technology, spoke at a conference session on digital transformation, showcasing how we are enhancing planning, execution and operational visibility through data-driven maintenance. Andrew Lin, Senior Vice President, Corporate Sales, Chinese Mainland, joined a panel discussion exploring ways to strengthen supply chain resilience through closer integration with partners.  We extend our thanks to our colleagues from across HAECO’s operating companies, whose collective efforts delivered a standout presence and enabled meaningful engagement throughout the show. The connections made in Beijing will support the continued strengthening of partnerships and drive sustainable growth across the region.
