Cebu Pacific Air (PSE:CEB), the Philippines' largest carrier, has appointed Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company Ltd. ("HAECO") as the provider of engineering services for its fleet of up to eight Airbus A330-300 aircraft. HAECO was voted by Aviation Week as the "Best Airframe MRO Provider in Asia." The Hong Kong-based MRO provider will provide Inventory Technical Management (ITM) and Fleet Technical Management (FTM) services for Cebu Pacific's wide-body fleet of A330-300 aircraft. The services include detailed planning of regular comprehensive maintenance checks, pool management of components, management of component repairs and overhauls, as well as 24/7 AOG support.
The HAECO group has been providing maintenance services to the world's largest Airbus A330 fleets coming from Cathay Pacific and other leading airlines in the Asia-Pacific region.
HAECO Chief Executive Officer Augustus Tang said: "We are very pleased to be chosen by Cebu Pacific, supporting the airline in the next phase of its growth. We are confident of delivering great value and operational reliability to the customer, by means of our technical expertise and operational scale of the A330 aircraft, geographical proximity between our Hong Kong hub and Manila, as well as our heritage of operational excellence." |
Why not Lufthansa Technik Philippines?
ReplyDeleteBecause Lufthansa TP is partly owned by the Lucio Tan group...who happens to be part owner of PAL/Airphil. Competitor.
ReplyDeleteLTP just terminated its ATR maintenance agreement with Cebu Pac so there is no way LTP will further deal with Ceb Pac. LTP has learned its lessons it will only deal with refutable airlines & has existing contacts with Qantas, Virgin Atlantic, Jetstar, Air Asia, Indigo, Air Berlin.
ReplyDeleteCeb Pac still needs to settle its outstanding account with LTP.
Ceb Pac magbayad muna kayo sa LTP
ReplyDeleteDi pa rin nagbayad at ang kapal magpatulong sa LTP pag may problema sa engines nila
ReplyDeleteLast week Ceb Pac is asking againj assistance fro LTP. They have settle in cash forst
ReplyDeleteLTP demanded outright payment of 1M USD as partial payment of its outstanding obligation before any assistance in removing their engines of their disabled A320 in Davao
DeletePerhaps you could e-mail us why it has become an embarrassing scenario
DeleteThey bought two engine stands which they intend to use in shipping the two engines to be removed from the disabled A320 in Davao. But the stands are inside LTP premises which is a PEZA zone, were previously used by LHT in sending engines to LTP for disassembly. LHT leased the stands and as SOP should be returned to Lessor.
DeleteLessor inform Ceb Pac that they can buy the stands and they will save a lot in freight since stands already in MNL. Ceb Pac already paid for the stands without knowing the complications, i.e. stands entered RP as tax free hence should be reexported to its owner/lessor and if sold locally, it needs approval of DG De Lima before the stands can get out of the PEZA Zone(LTP) after paying the applicable taxes.
LTP will be the one which will request DG Lima for the approval, But LTP management ( the Germans) demanded Ceb Pac to pay 1M as partial payment of its 1.5M outstanding account.
