The agreements were signed in the presence of Mr. Yosi Melamed, VP of IAI’s Bedek Aviation Group, and Mr. Sun Jian, the Chairman of Lingyun. The Chinese guests included, among others, Yichang municipal government and CAAC leaders as well as representatives of many airline companies.

Yosi Melamed, VP of IAI’s Bedek Aviation Group, said: “This is IAI’s first MRO JV in China and is part of IAI’s strategy to extend our business into the growing Chinese civil aviation sector. This agreement will lead to substantial cooperation between our two companies to the mutual benefit of both parties.”

We will cherish this opportunity to cooperate, and will make full use of resources from both sides, to make our JV business prosperous and shape the JV into a top class company in China and thereby elevate the aviation maintenance service of JV to a leading international level.”
