HAECO and Woodward jointly support global LEAP engine fleet

HAECO and Woodward, a world leader in aerospace and industrial controls, have signed an Elite Licensed Repair Service Facility (LRSF) agreement, establishing a long-term strategic partnership to support Woodward components on CFM International LEAP 1A, LEAP 1B, and LEAP 1C engines. Under the agreement, HAECO will be authorised to deliver a full suite of MRO services for Woodward’s entire product portfolio, comprising fuel control, engine actuation and air management systems that support the CFM LEAP engine family. This positions HAECO within Woodward’s Elite LRSF network and marks a significant milestone in expanding OEM-aligned component support for the rapidly growing LEAP fleet.  By joining the network, HAECO strengthens its capability to serve customers with OEM-authorised repair solutions, ensuring consistent quality and seamless service delivery across regions. The agreement also reinforces HAECO’s role as a leading engine component services hub in Asia-Pacific and the Chinese Mainland.  HAECO will provide localised repair capabilities closer to operators in a region representing the fastest-growing share of the global CFM LEAP fleet. The inclusion of CFM LEAP-1C engines powering the COMAC C919 further reflects HAECO and Woodward’s shared commitment to supporting the continued growth of China’s aviation industry. For airline operators, this agreement enhances access to OEM-approved repairs for critical engine system components, delivering market-leading turnaround times and optimised fleet availability.

New partnership with CALC to strengthen engine support capabilities in Hong Kong

HAECO and China Aircraft Leasing Group Holdings Limited (CALC), a leading aircraft full life-cycle solutions provider, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish a strategic framework for developing an engine lifecycle support platform in Hong Kong. The collaboration supports the continued development of Hong Kong as a leading international aviation hub through high value-added aviation services. Under the agreement, the two companies will explore the development of an engine quick-turn platform in Hong Kong, initially focusing on quick-turn services, hospital repair and engine asset management. The partnership will also seek to optimise the utilisation of used serviceable materials (USM), enhance value across the aircraft lifecycle, and strengthen supply chain resilience. The signing ceremony was witnessed by senior representatives from the HKSAR Government, the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the HKSAR, the Civil Aviation Department (CAD), Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK), Swire Group, China Everbright Group, the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC), the Hong Kong Aircraft USM Industry Task Force and other industry stakeholders, underscoring the strategic importance of the collaboration and a shared commitment to strengthening Hong Kong’s position as a leading international aviation hub.

Highlights

Empowering youth by supporting Cathay I Can Fly 2026

HAECO was proud to welcome 80 Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland secondary school students to our Hong Kong maintenance hangars in support of Cathay Pacific's 'I Can Fly Youth Academy 2026', the airline's flagship youth development initiative. Guided by our experienced engineering professionals and trainers, the students spent the day exploring the world of aircraft MRO through an up-close tour of an Airbus A330-300 aircraft and immersive VR simulation sessions at our Safety Experience Training Centre. Questions from the students, ranging from career prospects and tooling types to cabin modification timelines and engine thrust, demonstrated their strong interest in aircraft maintenance. Beyond the technical knowledge, the day was also about sparking curiosity by showing students that keeping an aircraft safe and airworthy takes a whole community of skilled specialists, and that a career in aviation engineering is well within their reach. A special thanks to Cathay Pacific, our engineering volunteers, and all the participating students for their incredible enthusiasm. We look forward to continuing our support for programmes that empower youth and cultivate the next generation of aviation talent.
