Hong Kong-based business aviation services provider Metrojet has received authorization from the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority for its Hong Kong maintenance, repair, and overhaul facility, designating it as an approved maintenance organization for Qatar-registered aircraft. The approval covers the MRO’s full capability list for Gulfstream, Bombardier, and Embraer business jets.

This latest nod is added to the company’s already established approvals from Hong Kong, U.S. FAA, Bermuda, Canada, Cayman Island, Isle of Man, San Marino, Thailand, and Aruba. Established in 1995, Metrojet also operates a second MRO facility at Diosdado Macapagal International Airport in the Philippines.

“The QCAA approval received for our Hong Kong MRO aligns with the one we obtained for our Clark MRO earlier this year, in which we see the increasing demand to support A7-registered aircraft in Hong Kong and the rest of the Asia-Pacific region,” said Bruce Watson, general manager of the Hong Kong facility. “We are dedicated to continue strengthening our service offerings in both MROs and to develop the Metrojet brand as the MRO of choice in Asia-Pacific."
