HAECO, a leading provider of world-class MRO solutions, is pleased to announce the successful redelivery of its 150th Boeing 747-8F aircraft to Atlas Air, marking a significant milestone in a remarkable collaboration that began in 2006. The completion of this work at HAECO’s base maintenance facility at Hong Kong International Airport serves as a testament to the longstanding partnership between the two parties, built on trust and consistent delivery of exceptional service.
“HAECO has been an important business partner for our 747-8F operation," said Richard Rolland, Chief Operating Officer of Atlas Air Worldwide.
