Airbus appoints TAECO as cabin outfitter

Airbus has appointed Taikoo (Xiamen) Aircraft Engineering Company (TAECO) as its first approved cabin-outfitter in Asia-Pacific, thereby expanding its range of completion centres available to corporate jet customers. TAECO is a subsidiary of Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company (HAECO), specialising in heavy and line maintenance, freighter conversion, component overhaul, engineering design, parts manufacturing and training in Xiamen, Mainland China. Outfitting the cabins of business jets, such as the Airbus Corporate Jet (ACJ) and A320 Prestige is a new venture for TAECO, which has already built a cabin mock-up to showcase its capability in the field.
