Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company Limited (HAECO) was voted by the aviation public as the Best Airframe MRO Provider - Asia at the 2012 Aircraft Technology Engineering & Maintenance (ATE&M) Awards.

The ATE&M Awards recognise the best service providers and suppliers of the Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) industry through a democratic web-based voting process in which the nominations and voting were determined by the aviation public. The winners of the Awards were announced during a ceremony in London.

Mr. Stephen Bray, Executive Vice President of UBM Aviation Events, said, "By the close of voting, a combined total of more than 2,000 people had either nominated or voted in this year's awards. We should pay tribute to all of our shortlisted candidates - just to reach this stage means that a company has achieved a respected and valued position within the industry, and they should all be congratulated. The four Airframe MRO awards - Americas, Europe, Middle East & Asia - could only be nominated by airline personnel, so these finalists and winners can rightly proclaim they are the airlines' choice."

"We are delighted and honoured to be voted as "Best Airframe MRO Provider in Asia" by the aviation public. It is a testament to our quality and efficient services. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our customers for their trust and continued support. Looking ahead, we strive to consistently deliver operational excellence in everything we do for all our airline customers," said Mr. Augustus Tang, HAECO's Chief Executive Officer.
