ExecuJet Haite’s maintenance center at Tianjin’s Binhai International Airport in China has completed
96-month checks on three Embraer Legacy 650 aircraft.
The work on all three Embraer aircraft was performed simultaneously and within four months. One of the aircraft completed its heavy maintenance check in nine weeks. The 96-month inspection is
the most extensive on the Legacy airframe and entails over 3,000 labour-hours. This heavy check
includes full removal of the cabin interior, down to the fuselage frames for structural inspection. Both
the forward and ventral fuel tanks are also removed, as is the wing leading edges, flaps, landing
gear and flight controls.
“Completing these highly complex projects in less than four months, further demonstrates our
proficiency in managing and simultaneously performing multiple heavy base maintenance
inspections while still ensuring that we keep within our customers’ demanding flight schedules and
budgets,” says Paul Desgrosseilliers, general manager of ExecuJet Haite. “We will continue to
strengthen our processes and procedures to improve our overall quality and minimize aircraft
downtime.”
ExecuJet Haite is an Authorized Service Center for Embraer Executive Jets and provides

Safety Agency (EASA), and several other national aviation authorities. The company has base and

Airport. It also has a line station at Beijing Capital International Airport.
