Inbound Repair Volume Tops 100 Aircraft for First Time, Slots Filled Through Next Year
The Hainan Free Trade Port’s one-stop aircraft maintenance industrial base is experiencing a significant surge in bookings, with inbound repair volume exceeding 100 aircraft for the first time. The base has obtained 28 maintenance authorizations across 21 countries and regions, and its unique advantages, including a four-hour flight radius and zero tariffs on aviation materials, are attracting overseas airlines. Haikou GEnx, a subsidiary of Hainan Airlines Holding, has also seen a significant increase in engine overhaul output value, with plans to reach full capacity of 60 overhauls a year by 2028. According to BigGo Finance, the base’s growth is driven by the free trade port’s tax regime, bonded policies, and traffic-rights dividends.
