A joint maintenance management agreement among civil aviation authorities will allow Gulfstream Beijing to service its aircraft registered in Hong Kong and Macau — the two special administrative regions of the People’s Republic of China — as well as China proper, the company announced Monday.
The approval was granted through an agreement among the Civil Aviation Administration of China, the Civil Aviation Department of Hong Kong and the Civil Aviation Authority of Macau SAR.
Under the agreement, Gulfstream Beijing can perform maintenance and upgrades on airframes, avionics, power plants and interiors on Gulfstream G550, G450 and G200 aircraft registered in Hong Kong and Macau. Gulfstream earned approval last year to work on those models registered in China.
“The joint maintenance approval is welcome news for many of our Hong Kong and Macau operators who travel frequently to Beijing and nearby cities,” said Mark Burns, president of Gulfstream Product Support.
“As Gulfstream Beijing grows, our goal is to add authorizations to give our customers more options for maintenance,” Burns said.
More than 200 Gulfstream aircraft are based in the Asia-Pacific region, including nearly 50 in Hong Kong and Macau.
The Gulfstream Beijing service center is a joint venture between Gulfstream and Hainan Airlines Group subsidiaries Hainan Aviation Technik and Beijing Capital Airlines Co. Ltd.
Gulfstream Beijing is located at Beijing Capital International Airport. The facility features about 82,000 square feet of hangar space and 22,000 square feet of offices and back shops.
