GE Aviation and CAIGA sign agreement for H80 Family Authorized Service Center in China

China Aviation Industry General Aircraft (CAIGA) signed an agreement with GE Aviation to become the first Authorized Service Center for the H80 turboprop engine family in China. With this agreement, CAIGA Customer Service Center can perform line maintenance inspections and routine engine maintenance, including removal and replacement of H75, H80 and H85 engines and engine components. Last year, CAIGA selected GE’s H85 turboprop engine to power CAIGA’s five-seat, light single-engine pressurized turboprop business aircraft with a carbon fiber composite airframe. It is one of the fastest pressurized single-engine turboprop aircraft in its class.
