HAECO has announce that it has commenced providing heavy maintenance services, including D-Checks, for Philippine Airlines’ Airbus A321 aircraft at its Xiamen facility, starting in August 2024. The initial maintenance agreement was first established in 1999, and since then, HAECO has performed over 40 maintenance inputs for the Philippines’ flag carrier at its well-equipped hangar based at Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport.
Gerald Steinhoff, Chief Commercial Officer of HAECO Group, expressed that the company is pleased to welcome Philippine Airlines back to its hangars, where HAECO’s skilled maintenance team will continue to provide top-quality services, ensuring the airline’s fleet operates at the highest levels of safety and efficiency. He highlighted HAECO’s broad capabilities in delivering world-class maintenance, repair, and overhaul services for airframes, components, and engines across its global locations, and looked forward to supporting the continued growth of Philippine Airlines’ widebody and narrowbody fleets in the future.
Philippine Airlines is equally enthusiastic about the partnership. “Philippine Airlines is pleased to engage with HAECO for the maintenance of our Airbus A321 fleet. We look forward to a continuous collaboration that will help us maintain high operational standards. This partnership guarantees that our aircraft remain safe, reliable, and compliant with regulatory requirements, and ultimately signifies our commitment to offer only the best service for our passengers,” said Alvin Limqueco, PAL Senior Vice President & Chief Supply Chain Officer.
