Rolls-Royce and Air China break ground with new MRO facility
23 October 2023The new facility in Beijing will cover more than 80,000 sqm and is estimated to support up to 800 employees who will deliver world-class maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services on Rolls-Royce Trent 700, Trent XWB-84 and Trent 1000 aero engines.
We have been appointed to provide project management services for Beijing Aero Engine Services Company Limited (BAESL). BAESL is a 50/50 joint venture MRO facility established by Rolls-Royce and Air China, with the project being the third MRO project we will deliver for Rolls Royce globally.
Our full suite of specialised professional services for BAESL includes design management, procurement support, construction management, cost and commercial management, facilities and utilities system commissioning management and facility management outsourcing support.
Our China team, led by our Managing Director, Asia Brian Shuptrine, attended the ground-breaking ceremony in Beijing together with representatives from Rolls-Royce, Air China, British Embassy Beijing, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) and other stakeholders.
The new MRO facility is currently in construction on a greenfield site in the Beijing Capital International Airport Economic Zone (Tianzhu Free Trade Zone), adjacent to Beijing International Airport. It will support the continued expansion of Rolls-Royce’s global care network and sustainability targets by reducing overseas transportation of engines for MRO activity.
The groundbreaking ceremony marks a significant milestone on the new BAESL MRO facility in Beijing, which is expected to be operational by 2026.
This is Rolls-Royce’s first MRO joint venture in China, and the fourth in its global MRO network, which includes HAESL (Hong Kong), SASEL (Singapore) and N3 (Germany).
