Barely over one year after STARCO's Pudong Hangar Grand Opening Ceremony and 5th Anniversary celebration on March 17, 2010, STARCO greeted yet another significant milestone achievement with the 500th Aircraft Redelivery Ceremony on May 17, 2011.

The Milestone Event Celebration was held in STARCO's Hong Qiao Wide-Body Hangar, and was graced by Guest of Honor, Mr Gu Xin (Director Airworthiness, CAAC East China Regional Administration), various Airlines and Lessor Management, and the presence of both STARCO's shareholders, China Eastern Airlines and ST Aerospace Senior Management Team.

This milestone attests to the commitment and emphasis of both shareholders to grow this successful partnership. Since its inception in January 2005, STARCO has made many notable achievements year by year; however without the unwavering support from our network of Customers and dependable contributions from our Staff, STARCO would not been able to continuously improve and excel in its commitment to quality and safety, leading to the build up of a strong and reliable system to deliver quality work with on-time performances.

STARCO has worked hard and once again proven itself as the largest MRO Service Provider in Shanghai, having hangar complexes in both Hong Qiao and Pudong International airports, with a total capacity to house 6 Wide-body and 3 Narrow-body aircraft concurrently. Over the short time span of 6 years, STARCO has operated very successfully and quickly filled its capacity to achieve the 500th Aircraft Redelivery Milestone.

Embracing Technological Advancement, Pursuance of Excellence was the theme for the Milestone Ceremony. STARCO's strength is derived from value creation through understanding our customers' needs and embracing technological development, thus enabling STARCO to consistently adopt the most updated cutting-edge technologies in aviation industry.

The redelivery of the 500th aircraft ushered STARCO to the next significant milestone in the Aircraft Maintenance Industry. Undoubtedly, STARCO will continue to satisfy both domestic and worldwide customers, by providing even better and comprehensive service offerings.
