At the groundbreaking event, Mr. Norbert Marx, the General Manager of GAMECO, introduced that GAMECO has successively established branches for line maintenance in Chongqing, Australia and New Zealand as well as for landing gear overhaul in Qingyuan, set up C Check production lines in Shenzhen and Shantou and built up Parts Manufacturing Center (PMC) to improve GAMECO’s maintenance layout. “The completion of Phase III Hangar will further strengthen GAMECO’s market position and competitive advantage in aircraft maintenance industry” stated by Mr. Marx.  

After completion of Phase III Hangar, GAMECO’s slots will increase from the currently 20 heavy maintenance lines to up to 31 production lines. It will greatly relieve our shortage of capacity, offer more flexible production plans for CSN and support the execution of PTF Project. When Phase III Hangar is put into use, the development of line maintenance, component repair, composite repair, LDG overhaul, aircraft parts manufacturing, etc. will be accelerated to enable GAMECO to better support the rapid growth of CSN’s fleet and to carry out more domestic and overseas 3rd party business.

Phase III Hangar will create more job opportunities and contribute additional taxes to Guangzhou Airport Economic Zone. It may also generate an aggregation effect to cluster aircraft maintenance and related industries in the region and to drive Guangzhou Airport Economic Zone to achieve the goal of building a global aircraft maintenance industry center.

Phase III Hangar, located on the north to Phase I Hangar with total investment of 886 million CNY, covers a huge area of 98,500 square meters and can accommodate 6 wide-body aircraft (including A380 and B777-300ER) and 5 narrow-body aircraft for heavy maintenance at the same time, while the additional aprons take up an area of 59,000 square meters.
