ExecuJet Haite Aviation Services China has signed an agreement with Capital Airport Holding Business Aviation Management (CBM) to operate the new MRO facility at Beijing Daxing International airport.

The 5,000sqm facility is co-located within the airport's business aviation area of some 300,000sqm, making it the largest business aviation centre in Asia Pacific. It will support various OEMs and aircraft types under CAAC approval, and certifications from overseas national aviation authorities, as it currently does at its Tianjin MRO facility.

ExecuJet Haite general manager Paul Desgrosseilliers says: "The infrastructure at Beijing Daxing International airport is second to none, and we are absolutely delighted to start supporting business aircraft at the airport and working cooperatively with CBM to create a world class business aviation hub and destination."

CBM general manager Li Yingyong adds: "This new agreement will bring the combined FBO and MRO business aviation expertise of both companies together to work in unison towards the further development of China's business aviation market and specifically enhance maintenance services and support at the airport to the benefit of our shared customers."

CBM already provides high-level FBO services to business jets and travellers at this and at Beijing Capital International airport through its Capital Jet subsidiary, and will work in alliance with ExecuJet Haite, a leader in MRO activities in Greater China, to further develop Beijing Daxing International as an industry leading business jet base and entry point into the dynamic Chinese market.

A large proportion of the business aviation centre is already used for FBO and related activities. There is an 11,000sqm FBO building, an area for business jet ramp parking and five other 5,000sqm hangars dedicated to aircraft parking.
