Bombardier Commercial Aircraft has renewed its authorised service facility (ASF) agreement with China-based Taikoo (Shandong) Aircraft Engineering Company (STAECO) for another three years.
The extension is aimed at providing better support to aircraft operators in the Asia Pacific region.
Under the new deal, STAECO will provide maintenance services for Bombardier’s Q400 turboprops along with CRJ Series of aircraft.
The new deal has also selected STAECO as an authorised service provider for base and other maintenance on all Bombardier CRJ Series and Q400 aircraft, including aircraft modifications, repainting, and avionics and cockpit improvements.
STAECO president Wang Chao said: “STAECO has been serving operators of CRJ Series aircraft for over ten years with a variety of maintenance solutions, and we are pleased to add the Q400 turboprops to our portfolio.
“The renewal of our relationship with Bombardier as part of its growing customer support network, permits us to continue serving our customers’ needs together.”
