Wichita-based Greenwich AeroGroup (Stand 1131) and ExecuJet Aviation Group of Zurich (Stand 136) announced at EBACE an expansion of their relationship to include ExecuJet Haite Aviation Services in mainland China. The agreement enables ExecuJet to represent Greenwich AeroGroup parts distribution and repair and overhaul services at all of its locations and positions both companies to enhance the services offered to China-based and transient aircraft owners and operators.


“ExecuJet and Greenwich AeroGroup’s services and locations complement each other very well,” said AeroGroup president and CEO Jim Ziegler. “We are delighted to be represented by such a well-established company in international markets.”


Said ExecuJet Asia managing director Graeme Duckworth, “The expansion of our relationship to include China makes sense. We have had an excellent association with Greenwich AeroGroup, and this will enable us to better meet the needs of the China aviation community at large.”
