HAECO has signed a new contract with Air India to provide technical ground handling services at Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG). Under the agreement, HAECO will deliver line maintenance support for Air India’s wide-body fleet — including Boeing 777, Boeing 787 and Airbus A350 aircraft — for three years, through to 2029.
Building on earlier base maintenance support and non-technical transit flight services for Air India in Hong Kong, HAECO first began providing technical support to the Indian flag carrier at PVG in 2014. Services were interrupted in 2020 due to the pandemic. Following the resumption of Air India’s scheduled flights to PVG in February, HAECO has once again been selected as the airline’s trusted line maintenance partner.
Gerald Steinhoff, Chief Commercial Officer of HAECO, said, “We are delighted to once again support Air India at Shanghai Pudong International Airport, building on a long-standing relationship that dates back more than a decade. Drawing on more than 75 years of MRO expertise and a well-established operational network, HAECO is well positioned to support Air India’s growing operations with the highest standards of safety, quality, and operational excellence.”
With global operations across Hong Kong, the Chinese mainland, Europe and the United States, HAECO offers a comprehensive suite of MRO services covering airframes, components and engines. The company currently provides line maintenance support to more than 140 airlines worldwide through a network of 19 stations across Hong Kong and the Chinese mainland.
