Loong Airline's intelligent maintenance base in Xiaoshan district, Hangzhou is the province's first hangar for large aircrafts in Zhejiang province, local media outlets reported.

Construction on the hangar, part of the base's first phase project, has taken two years over an 18,325-square-meter area and can park three narrow-body aircrafts such as A330/787/B777/A350, or one wide-body aircraft such as B737/A320.

The hanger is able to meet the maintenance needs of domestic customers as well as foreign airlines. It will mainly target airlines operating in the Yangtze River Delta region, one of the most prosperous areas of China.

The base, as a key project of Zhejiang, focuses on intelligent maintenance by integrating information digitalization, production automation, process visualization, quantifiable results, and intelligent decision-making into daily management and maintenance work.
