Metrojet Hangar Resolves Parking Space Issues in the Region

Metrojet’s existing hangar in Clark, the Philippines has been supporting the region in helping to resolve the lack of hangar parking in Hong Kong and North Asia. Encompassing a 7,100 m2 hangar, Metrojet’s new MRO facility will be operational in Q4 2020, offering even more parking space to the region to serve the needs of their end users. “Since the aircraft interior hygiene levels have become a new primary concern to all aircraft users, we are providing disinfection and cleaning services, so that when the skies finally do open up, the aircraft will be more than ready to serve and bring our clients safely around the world,” says Mr. Sarith Vaikuntan, General Manager, Metrojet Engineering Clark – Metrojet’s MRO in Clark, the Philippines. 

Due to the travel and quarantine restrictions being imposed by various governments, many aircraft have been grounded, waiting for the airspace to open again. In Hong Kong and North Asia, hangar parking space is limited and the aircraft are often left exposed on the ramp to the elements. Hangar parking can protect aircraft and minimize the risks of corrosion damage caused by the environment. With proper care, the aircraft engines, exterior, and interior can be better preserved thus protecting their asset value.
