Description

In 2010, China Eximbank provided a $16.7 million concessional loan for the Lao Airlines Hangar and Maintenance Training Center Project. The project involved the construction of a hangar and maintenance training center at Wattay International Airport, which is located 3 km outside the city of Vientiane. The project covered an area of 36,400 square meters with a total construction area of about 15,000 square meters. It included the construction of a maintenance hangar, a training center, corridors, a parking lot, outdoor facilities, and landscaping. The project was designed to promote the development of aviation industries in Laos, and provide a solid foundation for its route expansion in developed countries. Xi’an Aircraft Industry (Group) Company Ltd. and Yunnan Construction Engineering Group Co., Ltd. were the contractors responsible for implementation. The project commenced on November 15, 2010 and then a formal groundbreaking ceremony took place on January 20, 2011. Project implementation ended on March 15, 2012. However, a project completion ceremony was not held until June 21, 2016.
