Engineering and maintenance provider, HAECO, has signed a new three-year agreement with Air India to provide line maintenance support for the carrier’s widebody fleet at Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG).
Under the contract, HAECO will support Air India’s Boeing 777s, 787s and Airbus A350s at the Chinese gateway through 2029.
The latest deal strengthens an existing relationship between the two companies, following earlier base maintenance work and non-technical transit support for Air India in Hong Kong.
The agreement also reflects Air India’s continued international expansion, with Shanghai described as a strategically important station as the airline grows its presence in China.
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.”
Sisirakanta Dash, chief technical officer of Air India, said: “We look forward to partnering with HAECO for line maintenance support at Shanghai Pudong International Airport, a strategically important hub for Air India as we expand our services into China.
“HAECO’s strong regional presence and technical expertise will support the reliable and efficient operation of our fleet, delivering a seamless experience for our customers.”
