The US FAA, Qatar Civil Aviation Authority (QCAA) and the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) have certified China's ExecuJet Haite Aviation Services to perform line and heavy maintenance on the Gulfstream G700, the aircraft manufacturer's largest business jet.

ExecuJet Haite's MRO centres at Tianjin Binhai International and Beijing Daxing International airports are now FAA-approved to carry out line and base maintenance checks, up to and including 1A and 2C inspections, on G700s. Meanwhile, the CAAV has added the G700 to ExecuJet Haite's list of existing approval scope.

The QCAA has also certified ExecuJet Haite to provide line and heavy maintenance for business jets registered in Qatar including the G700. This certification is based on ExecuJet Haite's previously obtained aircraft approvals from the US FAA, further strengthening its position as a leading business aviation MRO provider in the Asia-Pacific region. The Qatari fleet extensively operates Gulfstream G650ER and G700 aircraft for high-end charter operations.

ExecuJet Haite will now provide comprehensive maintenance support for this model under FAA, QCAA, CAAV, Cayman and Bermuda approvals. This latest designation complements its MRO organisation's existing status as a Gulfstream authorised warranty facility for G650ER, G650, G550 and G280 aircraft.

“Obtaining these certifications is a strong recognition by international regulatory authorities of ExecuJet Haite's technical expertise and service quality,” notes Paul Desgrosseilliers, general manager at ExecuJet Haite. “Following rigorous audits, these achievements confirm that our maintenance, inspection systems and personnel fully comply with the world's most stringent standards. Our investment in continuous training, tooling and robust quality systems ensures we are fully prepared to support new platforms like the G700 from day one. Supporting this flagship aircraft is a natural progression of our deep, long-standing expertise in Gulfstream maintenance.”
