Forty-four officials from 29 consulates general in Guangzhou visited China Southern Airlines' aircraft maintenance facilities on Thursday (October 29) to learn about its technical capabilities and explore potential cooperation in aviation maintenance.
The event, hosted by China Southern Airlines Group, included discussions with company representatives and a visit to a maintenance hangar operated by Guangzhou Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Co., Ltd. (GAMECO), where the delegates toured the maintenance hangar and learned about the company's aircraft maintenance operations and technical capabilities.
The airline aims to use the initiative to strengthen international links in the aviation maintenance industry and expand its maintenance services to overseas markets.
China Southern's engineering and technical subsidiary outlined its maintenance services, which cover aircraft airframes, engines, auxiliary power units, components and composite-material repairs, as well as spare-parts support and technical training. The company said it holds airworthiness approvals from more than 30 countries and regions in Europe and elsewhere, and serves more than 100 domestic and overseas airline customers.
Delegates also exchanged views with company representatives on maintenance services, fleet requirements and industry developments. At GAMECO's hangar, they observed aircraft undergoing heavy maintenance inspections and saw demonstrations of intelligent jacking equipment used to lift aircraft during servicing.
