Shanghai Hawker Pacific OK’d by FAA as Foreign Repair Station

The FAA has approved the Shanghai Hawker Pacific FBO as a foreign repair station, allowing it to support U.S.-registered aircraft in China. The company applied for the approval just a few days before the FAA stopped taking applications on Aug. 3, 2008, due to the U.S. Transportation Security Administration’s failure to introduce security rules for such facilities. Shanghai Hawker Pacific is currently the only business aircraft facility in mainland China with foreign repair station clearance.
