HAECO Xiamen, a member of the HAECO Group, has achieved a significant milestone by successfully completing its first 6Y Check on an Etihad Airways Airbus A380 Superjumbo. The national carrier of the United Arab Emirates, Etihad Airways, had parked its A380 aircraft for three years during the pandemic. Now, as the airline announces the return of its A380 fleet into service, HAECO Xiamen has partnered with Etihad by providing heavy maintenance and cabin refurbishment services on the A380s, supporting the return of this iconic aircraft to service.
With its EASA/GCAA A380 capabilities, vast experience, high safety and quality standards, and competitive turnaround times, HAECO Xiamen provided services for Etihad Airways’ A380 maintenance needs. The teams at HAECO Xiamen and Etihad Airways collaborated closely to develop effective options to prepare for the return of the A380 aircraft. The project was completed on time, ensuring that the A380 aircraft was safely and efficiently returned to service.
