Metrojet Engineering Clark Opens

Metrojet Engineering Clark (MEC) officially opened for business this week.

MEC is a joint venture between Metrojet and CAPP Industries Inc. of the Philippines, and is the first overseas venture for the company.

Located at the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA) in the Clark Freeport Zone near Pampanga, 40 miles north of Manila in the Philippines, MEC is a new Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facility designed to expand both the heavy and line maintenance capabilities from its Hong Kong base.

The new facility is housed in more than 13,000 sq. ft. of hangar space with a 6,400 sq. ft. office building. It will offer a comprehensive range of aircraft services and support, including a dedicated document control area within the hangar, large bonded stores, a fully equipped avionics shop, as well as sheet metal and tire shops. There is also a plan to develop a cabin interior refurbishment capability depending on potential needs.

Bjӧrn Nӓf, CEO of Metrojet, said, “The launch of MEC is an important milestone in our journey. The Clark facility not only marks the beginning of an international expansion for us, but also allows Metrojet to take advantage of the forecasted growth projections for business aviation in Asia. Metrojet will be able to offer clients, both existing and new, an additional MRO to maintain their aircraft to the highest international standards. We will continue to develop and expand this facility to accommodate the rising demand in the South East Asia region, and to deliver operational excellence to our clients and partners.”
