As the world’s second largest civil aviation market, China’s fleet of commercial aircraft is expanding rapidly. This expansion translates into a surge in the need for comprehensive and efficient aircraft management throughout their entire life cycle. Aviation powerhouse Airbus has officially inaugurated its aircraft life cycle service center. In the bustling city of Chengdu Sichuan province in China, this center will not only cater to routine checks and overhauls, but also focus on recycling high value components, attachment to Airbus’ commitment to sustainability and eco-efficiency. CGTN’s Guan Xin sat down with Philippe Mhun, Executive Vice President Programmes & Services for Airbus, who shared insights and how this pioneering center will revolutionize aircraft life cycle management, and further elevate the synergy between Airbus and China’s dynamic aviation landscape.
