Project Overview

​

With the growth in international air passenger traffic, the demand for aircraft repair and maintenance services in the Asia Pacific region is increasing, and China Airlines (CAL) – one of Taiwan’s largest carriers -- is actively vying for its share of the market.

 

CAL’s two existing hangars situated at the south-east side of the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport offer a total floor space of 43,600 square meters and can simultaneously accommodate up to five wide-body aircraft.

 

To strengthen and expand its capabilities in aircraft repair and maintenance, China Airlines founded Taiwan Aircraft Maintenance and Engineering Co., Ltd. (TAMECO), for which a new large-span hangar is now being constructed.

​

The new hangar comprises a 14,287 square meter hangar and an annex building.

 

The main hangar is a steel structure having a volume of 177 X 97 X 39.5m (L x W x H). Inside, two 10-ton cranes are installed to the structure on the same rails for engines and aircraft fuselage and another 5-ton crane is for the tail of the wide-body aircraft.

​

As for the annex building, it has four levels with space for parking, technical rooms, workshops, storage, office and staff facilities, as well as water storage, fire protection water / petrol interceptor and two galleries for aircraft maintenance pits located in the basement.
