ExecuJet Haite Aviation Services, a China-based franchisee of ExecuJet MRO Services, has completed three simultaneous 96-month inspections on Embraer Legacy 650s at its Binhai International Airport facility in Tianjin.

The work on the trio of super-midsize business jets took place over a four-month span. According to ExecuJet Haite, the 96-month inspection is the most extensive on the Legacy airframe, requiring more than 3,000 labor hours. It necessitates the complete removal of the aircraft cabin interior, down to the fuselage frame, for structural inspection. The forward and ventral fuel tanks—as well as the wing leading edges, flaps, landing gear, and flight controls—are also removed.

“Completing these highly complex projects in less than four months further demonstrates our proficiency in managing and simultaneously performing multiple heavy base maintenance inspections while still ensuring that we keep within our customers’ demanding flight schedules and budgets,” said ExecuJet Haite general manager Paul Desgrosseilliers. “We will continue to strengthen our processes and procedures to improve our overall quality and minimize aircraft downtime.”

Founded in 2010, ExecuJet Haite also offers base and line maintenance at Beijing Daxing International Airport and has a line station at Beijing Capital International Airport. The fully-owned subsidiary of Sichuan-based Haite Group is an authorized service center for Embraer Executive Jets and other business aircraft OEMs. It holds maintenance certifications from China’s CAAC, the FAA, and EASA, among others.
