HAECO, a global leader in aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) solutions, is pleased to announce the signing of a new base maintenance contract with Brussels Airlines. Starting in September 2025, HAECO will provide support for the airline’s Airbus A330 fleet for the first time at its 22-bay hangar facilities in Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) for a duration of three years, until 2028.

Under this agreement, HAECO Hong Kong will serve as the exclusive base maintenance service provider for Brussels Airlines’ entire fleet of 11 Airbus A330-300 widebody aircraft during the winter season, covering C-checks including C1, C2 and 6-years checks.

“We are thrilled to welcome Brussels Airlines, a member of the Lufthansa Group as our newest customer. We sincerely appreciate Brussels Airlines’ trust in our EASA-approved Airbus A330 base maintenance services. With 75 years of experience, HAECO is committed to ensuring the safety and reliability of Brussels Airlines’ fleet while upholding the highest safety and quality standards,” said Gerald Steinhoff, Chief Commercial Officer of HAECO.

We are confident that this collaboration will enhance the operational performance of our widebody fleet and support our commitment to delivering safe and reliable service to our passengers worldwide.” 

HAECO’s proven safety record and competitive turnaround times have attracted numerous international carriers to utilize its maintenance services covering airframes, components and engines at its global locations across Hong Kong, the Chinese Mainland, Europe and the Americas.
