The Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam (CAAV) has approved China-based ExecuJet Haite Aviation Services to handle line and heavy maintenance on locally-registered Dassault, Gulfstream, and Embraer business jets. This certification covers the maintenance, repair, and overhaul group’s facilities at Tianjin Binhai International Airport (ZBTJ) and Beijing Daxing International Airport (ZBAD).
Under the terms of the Vietnamese approval, ExecuJet Haite can specifically work on the following types: Dassault Falcon 7X and 8X, Gulfstream G650/650ER, and Embraer Legacy 600/650. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dassault Aviation and is an authorized service center for the French manufacturer, as well as for Gulfstream and Embraer.
ExecuJet Haite is also now certified by the CAAV to perform inspections and maintenance on the engines that power these aircraft. This approval specifically covers the Pratt &amp; Whitney Canada PW307D, as well as the Rolls-Royce BR700-725A1 and AE3007 turbofans.
