ExecuJet Haite Aviation Services China (ExecuJet Haite) and Shanghai Star Jet Business Aviation (Star Jet) have signed a comprehensive strategic cooperation agreement to work together to benefit their customers, their companies and the China business aviation industry.

The agreement, signed at an event at The Peninsula Beijing Hotel, establishes an important relationship between two leading Chinese business aviation companies to cooperate in ways that enhance operational efficiency and safety as well as improve customer satisfaction and create value for both companies and their customers.

This collaboration stems from a profound shared vision regarding the vast potential and high-quality development path of China's business aviation sector. Star Jet, a pioneering leader in domestic premium business aviation operations, possesses an exceptional reputation in aircraft management, global charter services and providing high-end client solutions. Operating primarily the top-tier Airbus ACJ and Gulfstream business jet aircraft, it is well renowned for safe, efficient and exclusive services.

ExecuJet Haite, recognised as a world leading one-stop business aircraft maintenance and ground handling service provider, is strategically located in Beijing and nearby Tianjin. Holding multiple international OEM authorisations including being a Gulfstream authorised warranty facility, Dassault Falcon authorised service centre and Embraer Executive Jets authorised service centre, it is also approved by 12 global civil aviation authorities including the Civil Aviation Administration of China and US FAA. ExecuJet Haite offers comprehensive maintenance support, heavy base maintenance inspections and engineering support capabilities encompassing 16 business aircraft types from various aircraft manufacturers. Tianjin Haite Aircraft Engineering Company, a sister company of ExecuJet Haite will also provide maintenance support on Star Jet’s Airbus Corporate Jets.

Senior executives expressed strong confidence in the partnership during the signing ceremony. Yang Hua, chairman of Star Jet, states: “Partnering with ExecuJet Haite is a pivotal step for Star Jet to elevate our service capabilities. ExecuJet Haite's globally recognised certifications, robust maintenance support and engineering prowess provide the solid backing essential for us to deliver a secure worry-free and supremely convenient flight experience to our premium fleet clients using ACJ and Gulfstream aircraft. This strategic relationship will deepen our service offerings in aircraft lifecycle management and jointly propel the standardisation and internationalisation of China's business aviation services.”

This strategic alliance marks a profound integration and upgrade of premium resources within China's business aviation supply chain. The two companies will engage in comprehensive, in-depth collaboration across aircraft management, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), 24/7 technical support, global operational support and premium client value-added services. Together, they will build upon and become more responsive in support of their shared clientele. This initiative will deliver an unprecedented seamless service experience for business aircraft owners and operators. Furthermore, it will significantly enhance the market competitiveness of both partners, vigorously promote the refinement of China's business aviation service system and the elevation of overall industry standards, thereby setting a new benchmark for the sector's development.

Paul Desgroseilliers, general manager of ExecuJet Haite, concludes: “Star Jet sets the benchmark for premium business aircraft operation and management, whose professional ethos and service philosophy align with ours. ExecuJet Haite will leverage the strategic advantages of our two large scale MRO locations, comprehensive aircraft OEM and type coverage, and maintenance technical capabilities, meeting the highest international standards to provide Star Jet's fleet with efficient, reliable and world-class technical support. This cooperation represents a significant, mutually beneficial step for our shared future.”
