2019年5月23日，广州飞机维修工程有限公司（GAMECO）举行了三期机库开工奠基，该工程预计将在2021年12月竣工。
南航集团董事长、党组书记王昌顺发表讲话，他提到GAMECO是南航机务系统的“排头兵”和中坚力量，为南航的安全运行、提质增效和服务提升做出了重要贡献。南航集团一直高度重视和支持GAMECO发展，今天开工的三期机库将更好地保障南航安全运行，同时为拓展第三方业务、做强做大做优机务维修产业，奠定坚实的基础。
GAMECO副董事长杜志强先生回顾了GAMECO成长历程，他表示非常荣幸见证了GAMECO 的每一个重要进步，也始终对中国民航维修行业、对公司的发展前景充满着信心。随着国家进一步深化对外开放，尤其是“一带一路”倡议的扎实推进，我们不但可以吸引更多的国际维修业务到这里来，未来我们还会有更好的机会走出去，把我们的维修站点开设到国外去，成为一个真正的国际化企业。
GAMECO总经理Norbert Marx发表了讲话。他说：GAMECO已先后成立了重庆（航线）、清远（起落架大修）、澳大利亚（航线）、新西兰（航线）分公司，开设了深圳、汕头异地C检生产线，成立了零部件制造中心，维修布局更加完善；三期机库的建成，将进一步加强GAMECO未来在维修行业的市场地位和竞争优势。
三期机库落成后，GAMECO定检生产线总容量将从目前的20条增加至31条，将有效缓解GAMECO机体大修业务宽体维修机位不足的发展瓶颈，可为南航飞机定检提供更加充足的生产空间、实现更加灵活的生产计划，并为“客改货”项目提供了设施上的保障。机库投入使用后，有望带动航线维修、附件修理、复合材料修理、起落架大修、飞机零部件制造等业务的发展，为南航机队规模的快速增长提供有力的保障，同时也使GAMECO有更大的产能空间承接国内国外第三方业务。
同时也将为广州空港经济区带来新的就业岗位和新增税收，还可能产生聚集效应，带动飞机维修及相关产业向区内集群，推动广州空港经济区向打造全球飞机维修产业中心的目标迈进。
三期机库位于GAMECO一期机库北侧，工程总投资费用约为8.86亿元人民币，其中机库建筑面积约9.85万平方米，可停放6架宽体飞机和5架窄体飞机, 可同时容纳A380和B777-300ER飞机进行深度维修；清洗/试车/维修机坪面积约5.9万㎡。

On May 23rd 2019, GAMECO hosted the groundbreaking event for the Phase III Hangar and construction will last till December 2021.
Mr. Wang Changshun, chairman of CSN Group, delivered a speech. He mentioned that GAMECO, as the “pacemaker” and backbone of CSN’s M&E System, has made major contributions to CSN's safe operation, quality and efficiency improvement and service promotion. CSN Group always attaches great importance and provides support to the development of GAMECO. The Phase III Hangar will better ensure the safe operation of CSN and lay a solid foundation for further exploring third-party business and expanding the aircraft maintenance industry.
Looking back at the development of GAMECO, Mr. Simon To, the Deputy Chairman of GAMECO expressed his honor to witness every important progress of it, and he said he is always full of confidence in the civil aviation maintenance industry in China and the development prospects of GAMECO. As China deepens its opening up, especially the “One Belt, One Road” initiative, we can not only attract more international maintenance business, but also have better chance to go abroad and set foreign maintenance stations in the future and become an international MRO.#
At the groundbreaking event, Mr. Norbert Marx, the General Manager of GAMECO, introduced that GAMECO has successively established branches for line maintenance in Chongqing, Australia and New Zealand as well as for landing gear overhaul in Qingyuan, set up C Check production lines in Shenzhen and Shantou and built up Parts Manufacturing Center (PMC) to improve GAMECO’s maintenance layout. “The completion of Phase III Hangar will further strengthen GAMECO’s market position and competitive advantage in aircraft maintenance industry” stated by Mr. Marx.
After completion of Phase III Hangar, GAMECO’s slots will increase from the currently 20 heavy maintenance lines to up to 31 production lines. It will greatly relieve our shortage of capacity, offer more flexible production plans for CSN and support the execution of PTF Project. When Phase III Hangar is put into use, the development of line maintenance, component repair, composite repair, LDG overhaul, aircraft parts manufacturing, etc. will be accelerated to enable GAMECO to better support the rapid growth of CSN’s fleet and to carry out more domestic and overseas 3rd party business.
Phase III Hangar will create more job opportunities and contribute additional taxes to Guangzhou Airport Economic Zone. It may also generate an aggregation effect to cluster aircraft maintenance and related industries in the region and to drive Guangzhou Airport Economic Zone to achieve the goal of building a global aircraft maintenance industry center.
Phase III Hangar, located on the north to Phase I Hangar with total investment of 886 million CNY, covers a huge area of 98,500 square meters and can accommodate 6 wide-body aircraft (including A380 and B777-300ER) and 5 narrow-body aircraft for heavy maintenance at the same time, while the additional aprons take up an area of 59,000 square meters.
