The Aviation Administration of Kazakhstan has approved Beijing-based ExecuJet Haite to provide line and base maintenance for Bombardier Challenger and Embraer Legacy business aircraft registered in the Central Asian country. The certification announced today is the Chinese maintenance, repair, and overhaul company’s first approval in this region.
China borders Kazakhstan, and ExecuJet Haite sees Central Asia as a growth opportunity. According to the company, there are eight to 10 Bombardier Challengers based in Kazakhstan and about the same number of Embraer Legacys.
“We believe we are well-placed to serve operators from Kazakhstan and the wider Central Asia region because of our proximity to that market,” said ExecuJet Haite general manager Paul Desgrosseilliers.
The company operates heavy maintenance bases at Beijing Daxing International Airport (ZBAD) and Tianjin Binhai International Airport (ZBTJ). It also has line maintenance operations at Beijing Capital International Airport (ZBAA).
ExecuJet Haite is certified to support Dassault’s Falcon business jets, as well as multiple types produced by Embraer, Bombardier, and Gulfstream. The group also handles avionics upgrades, satellite communications equipment installations, aircraft painting, and cabin interior refurbishments.
