HAECO Xiamen, a member of the HAECO Group, announced today that it has completed and redelivered its first Airbus A321-200PCF converted freighter with Supplemental Type Certificate (‘STC”) partner, 321 Precision Conversions, LLC (“Precision”). HAECO Xiamen has been an authorized Precision Conversion Centre since 2010, and this first A321-200PCF redelivery marked yet another milestone in the continued development of HAECO Xiamen’s capabilities.

To minimize downtime, HAECO Xiamen conducts full freighter conversions in parallel with heavy maintenance checks and other modifications. Its on-site quality assurance teams prepare daily reports as part of a comprehensive quality control process to ensure that work is conducted to the highest standards.

Kevin Guan, Chief Executive Officer of HAECO Xiamen said: “HAECO Xiamen started collaboration with Precision on the Boeing 757-200PCF conversion in 2010. We  have good cooperative relationship with Precision in the past 12 years, and we are delighted to extend this collaboration to A321-200PCF conversion. HAECO Xiamen is busy preparing to convert one Boeing 757-200PCF conversion line to A321-200PCF in the middle of the year and we look forward introducing multiple A321 conversion lines here then.”

Gary Warner, President of 321 Precision Conversions, LLC, stated, “Our long-term relationship with HAECO Xiamen has proven them to be a consistent performer on the Boeing 757-200PCF programme and now on the A321-200PCF. Their experienced and professional team has done a remarkable job on the first A321-200PCF conversion in China. We look forward to many more successful redeliveries.”

As the world’s first MRO to conduct a Boeing 747-400BCF conversion, HAECO Xiamen has long-standing partnerships with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and STC holders. More than 70 conversions have been completed to date, including Boeing 747-400, 737-300, 737-400, 737-800, 757-200, and Airbus A321-200 aircraft types with high safety and quality standards, competitive turnaround times, and on-time delivery.
