BOEING SHANGHAI SIGNS MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT WITHR JEJU AI

KUALA LUMPUR, May 14 (Bernama) -- Boeing Shanghai Aviation Services Co. Ltd (Boeing Shanghai) has signed a maintenance agreement to perform Boeing 737-800 “C” checks for Jeju Air, based in Seoul, Korea.

Jeju Air became the first Korean customer for Boeing Shanghai after the
facility obtained maintenance certification from the Korea Civil Aviation Safety
Authority in February.

This agreement expands upon earlier maintenance support in which Boeing
Shanghai provided a landing-gear exchange for the airline earlier this year,
Boeing said in a statement from Shanghai Thursday.

Two Boeing 737-800s are covered under the agreement. “C” checks are
comprehensive, hangar-based periodic maintenance inspections.

Jeju Air connects Jeju Island with the Korean mainland and also operates to
several international destinations.

Boeing Shanghai was established in June 2006 as a joint venture of Boeing,
Shanghai Airport Authorities and Shanghai Airlines.

The mission of Boeing Shanghai is to provide high-quality modification,
maintenance, repair and overhaul services to regional and international airlines
as well as to domestic Chinese airlines.
