Hong Kong MRO Metrojet recently completed its first 8C “heavy maintenance” inspection on a Gulfstream G650. The company has also booked a second 8C inspection for another operator’s G650.

According to the company, the 8C inspection required Metrojet HK’s team of technicians to conduct more than a hundred different maintenance tasks from nose to tail on the managed G650. These inspections require significant investment in maintenance facilities, tools, and maintenance skills, Metrojet said.

“This check is a milestone event for the Metrojet HK MRO. Our [maintenance] team always strives to enhance their capabilities, provides a quality product, and aims to deliver extensive and on-schedule inspection services to our customers at a competitive price,” said Metrojet managing director for MRO Dave Yip. “Building upon our successful first G650 8C inspection, we are delighted to have received a second 8C inspection event from a third-party operator.”

Metrojet is the first business aviation MRO in Hong Kong and has been in operation since 2001. It has additional service locations in the Philippines, Vietnam, and China.
