Emirates and GAMECO have further strengthened their long-standing partnership with the signing of new multi-year agreements to expand heavy maintenance services for Emirates’ fleet.
The collaboration began in September 2023 with a dedicated agreement covering the Airbus A380, for which Emirates is the world’s largest operator. As part of this initial partnership, GAMECO established a full nose-to-tail heavy maintenance line in Guangzhou, providing scheduled maintenance support tailored to the operational requirements of Emirates’ A380 fleet. The programme has since delivered strong results, reflecting both organisations’ focus on reliability, efficiency and technical excellence.
Building on this momentum, the partnership was expanded in April 2025 to include a nose-to-tail heavy maintenance line for the Boeing 777. This marked a significant broadening of scope, aligning with Emirates’ extensive wide-body operations and further embedding GAMECO as a trusted maintenance partner for the airline’s long-haul fleet.
To mark this next phase of collaboration, Emirates and GAMECO have now signed new multi-year agreements that include the extension of the existing Airbus A380 and Boeing 777 heavy maintenance lines. These agreements reinforce a relationship characterised by mutual trust, shared standards and a long-term strategic outlook. Both parties continue to work closely to ensure consistently high levels of safety, quality and operational performance.
Dr Marc Szepan, General Manager of GAMECO, commented: “We are honoured to extend our partnership with Emirates, one of the world’s most respected airlines. This collaboration underlines GAMECO’s commitment to delivering world-class maintenance solutions and reflects our shared emphasis on safety, quality and efficiency. Together, we will continue to set new benchmarks for excellence in aircraft maintenance.”
The expanded agreements underscore Emirates’ confidence in GAMECO’s technical capabilities and highlight the growing importance of the Guangzhou facility within Emirates’ global maintenance network.
