Metrojet Limited's MRO operation in the Philippines, Metrojet Engineering Clark, has received approved maintenance organization designation for Qatar controlled aircraft and aircraft components from the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority. “Metrojet Engineering Clark sees the demand to support the growth of A7-registered aircraft in the Asia Pacific region,” Metrojet Engineering Clark general manager Wesley Slate said.

Metrojet opened the Clark facility in 2012. It is at the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (CRK) in the Philippines’ Clark Freeport Zone.

The Qatar approval follows others from the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines, the U.S. FAA, and the Civil Aviation Authority of the Cayman Islands. Metrojet, established in 1995, is part of the Kadoorie Group and a sister company of The Peninsula Hotels. It is an authorized warranty repair center for Gulfstream, as well as a Bombardier service center. In addition to MRO services for the Asia-Pacific region, it offers aircraft management services from Singapore and is an aviation consultancy.
