HAECO Americas has gained approval from Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) to perform passenger-to-freighter conversions on Boeing 757 aircraft.

This certification complements the existing FAA and EASA certificates held by HAECO Americas Airframe Services. It permits HAECO Americas to pursue additional ratings in the future through coordination with the CAAC.

Jim Sokol, president MRO services of HAECO Americas, said: “We are proud to announce that through diligent, collaborative efforts with our Chinese partners and the CAAC, HAECO Americas now joins a selected group of companies that can support customers with this authority.”
