that many facilities inside Asia still struggle with today. This has
certainly improved over the last decade as many local engineers
have added both type training and actual hands-on experience
and now carry many different aircraft types on their license.
ExecuJet Haite focuses on developing local talent, initially training
the engineers abroad with the OEM's and then taking part in an
intensive in-house training and skill development program. The
focus is now on talent retention as these engineers are highly
sought after by competing MRO facilities and customer operators.

Gulfstream Aerospace
Gulfstream Beijing, which has provided support for more than
1,100 aircraft visits since opening its hangar doors in November
2012, has grown to approximately 50 employees, nearly half
of which are mechanics and technicians. The site has maintenance approvals from China, Hong Kong, Macau, the U.S. Federal
Aviation Administration, European Aviation Safety Agency,
Guernsey and the Cayman Islands. Its focus is on regular inspections of most Gulfstream large-cabin aircraft and line maintenance
for all Gulfstream aircraft.

A warehouse on site includes more than $2 million in parts and
materials. Overall, Gulfstream has a parts inventory of approximately $55 million in Asia Pacific; parts are available in Beijing
and Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore and Melbourne.
Jet Aviation maintenance facilities in Hong Kong and Singapore,
both Gulfstream-authorized service centers, are valuable complements to the capabilities offered at Gulfstream Beijing.
Gulfstream's Asia Customer Support Contact Center near Hong
Kong International Airport, includes a computer maintenance
program analyst, an over-the-counter parts sales and warranty
specialist and a regional sales manager for Customer Support.
Hong Kong, which has the largest concentration of Gulfstream
aircraft in the region with more than 60, is also where companyauthorized warranty facility (AWF) Metrojet is located.
Most customers who visit Gulfstream Beijing, and Gulfstream'sauthorized service centers and AWFs are from the Asia-Pacific
region. Gulfstream agrees the biggest challenge faced by the
business aviation industry in Asia Pacific is the short supply of
experienced aircraft mechanics.
