Finally, Metrojet has decided to set up another hangar inside the sprawling Clark Civil Aviation Complex that would generate more investment and employment opportunities at Clark Freeport Zone, in particular the Clark International Airport.
Hong Kong-based Metro Jet Limited is investing at least $25 Million for the construction of a world-class state of the art business aviation parking and maintenance facility at the Clark Civil Aviation Complex.
This is part of its regional expansion project in Clark Freeport aside from its existing 1,200 square meter hangar facilities inside the Civil Aviation area of the Clark International Airport Corporation.
The 26,000 meter facility has been designed to provide a world class customer experience while maximizing safety and productivity in all activities. With 7,100 meters of hangar floor space, the facility can typically accommodate up to 10 long range business jets and up to a maximum of Boeing Business Jet Airbus Corporate Jet.
Built to the highest international standards including a fully typhoon proof structure and an aviation specific fire suppression system, the facility also includes over 2,500 meters of customer accommodation and storage, fixed base operator (FBO) capability and engineering support workshops and materials warehousing. With a dedicated taxi-way and parking ramp of over 11,000 meters it will provide secure and private aircraft parking, maintenance and FBO services.
According to Bruce Watson, chief operating officer of Metro Jet Limited, “this development represents the largest investment made by Metrojet in its 21 year history, demonstrating our commitment to the development of business aviation in the Philippines. With this Clark facility, we at Metrojet are strengthening our footprint in Southeast Asia. The growing strategic importance of Clark with its freedom of operations and Freeport zone enables us to provide our clients with a high quality and very competitive hangar parking and maintenance facility in the region, especially with locations such as Hong Kong and Singapore becoming increasingly expensive and having capacity constraints.”
Metrojet will have a 50 year lease contract for its new aircraft parking and maintenance facility with the hangar being constructed by Aircraft Support Industries (ASI) under a design-build contract managed by MERx Construction.
Metrojet was established in 1995 that pioneered the business aviation industry in Hong Kong and remains one of the renowned safety and customer-focused business jet operators and maintenance providers in Asia Pacific. The company provides all-inclusive aircraft management, maintenance and aviation consultancy services.
Thank you Metro Jet for the confidence and support!
