HAECO, a world-leading aircraft engineering and maintenance solutions provider, has signed a new agreement with Tigerair Taiwan (TTW) to conduct End-of-Lease (EOL) checks for its A320 fleet at HAECO’s state-of-the-art maintenance facilities in Hong Kong. This agreement encompasses five inputs between 2026 and 2028 and will support TTW’s initiative to upgrade its A320 fleet.

With our commitment to excellence and extensive competencies, HAECO stands ready to deliver top-tier services throughout the aircraft life cycle, enhancing the safety, efficiency and competitiveness of our partner.”   

Dennis Lai, Chief Operating Officer of Tigerair Taiwan, remarked, “We are pleased to have a trusted partner like HAECO and to leverage their expertise for our EOL checks as we phase out our A320ceo fleet. This partnership builds on our previous collaboration and represents a significant step forward in modernising our operations, ensuring a smooth transition to the A320neo as we continue to enhance our service commitment to our valued customers.”
