Boeing signed several cooperation agreements with Chinese companies at last week's inaugural MRO Greater China exhibition in Beijing, indicating the US plane-maker's firm interest in expanding its business in China.
With China's commercial fleet continuing to grow, the agreements signed with Boeing covered in-flight connectivity, aircraft maintenance support and parts procurement.
Boeing has stated it signed a strategic memorandum of understanding with the Chengdu-based CETC Avionics Co Ltd to explore the development of in-flight connectivity solutions for its aircraft.
The company also reached a tailored parts package agreement with HNA Technic Co Ltd, the maintenance, repair and overhaul subsidiary of Hainan Airlines Group, aimed at improving access to maintenance parts through lower costs, streamlined procurement processes and customized support.
In addition, Boeing signed an agreement with Wuhan Hangda Aero Science & Technology Development Co Ltd to support the company in providing parts procurement solutions to customers. Wuhan Hangda is the leading MRO services provider for civil aircraft components and landing gear in China.
