Ameco puts tail dock for airframes at 4-bay hangar into service

Now 4 stations can provide airframe overhaul with tail dock, for Boeing 747-400, 747-8, 767,777,787, A330 and A340. One Lufthansa Boeing 747 came to Ameco for D check at the same day when the first tail dock was put into service. From this October to next March, 6 Boeing 747s from Lufthansa will be layover at Ameco Beijing for D checks.

Ameco started to build A330 capabilities since 2012. It already performed four C-checks on 14 A330s from Air China in three years and one A330 from some 3rd-party customer.
