Hong Kong Aero Engine Services Limited (HAESL) celebrated the official opening of its Component Repair Centre of Excellence – Phase V – a 13,500 square metre expansion to its existing engine repair and overhaul facility. HAESL has invested $ 50 million in the new Phase V expansion to meet the rapid growth in worldwide demand for component repair capability. This is in response to the predicted growth in the aviation industry over the next decade and beyond. It will also expand Hong Kong’s capabilities as a regional aviation hub to serve the fast-growing aviation market in China. The new facility expands HAESL’s capacity and enhances its service to customers in terms of productivity and turnaround time. The expansion features five of HAESL’s six Rolls-Royce Global Repair Services’ Centres of Excellence (CoE) for component repair, all under one roof. At the same time, HAESL has also reorganised and expanded Phase II, an existing 20,000 square metre component repair facility.
