Liebherr-Aerospace SAS, together with Wuhan Hangda Aero Science & Technology Development Co. Ltd, recently have established a repair center for aerospace systems and components in the city of Wuhan, People’s Republic of China. This initiative has been taken as a response to the market’s demand for local services and in anticipation of the growing market in China.
The new company, Liebherr Hangda Aerospace Technologies (Wuhan) Co. Ltd. is dedicated to the maintenance of all Liebherr Aerospace products as well as heat exchangers installed on Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier and Embraer aircraft operating in the People’s Republic of China. It will also provide repair services to ACAC and airlines customers for the Liebherr Aerospace products installed on the regional aircraft ARJ 21 that will enter into service in 2008.
It is anticipated that the company will obtain its CAAC Part 145 certificate by mid 2007. At that time the repair services to Chinese customers currently been performed out of the Liebherr Service Center in Singapore will progressively be transferred to the new Wuhan facility.
By providing local services, the operations of Liebherr Hangda Aerospace Technologies (Wuhan) Co. Ltd. will reduce transportation times, customs charges and related lead-times, such reducing the repair turn-times and overall costs of ownership for the customers.
