TAECO is one of only a handful of facilities in the world licensed by Boeing to carry out conversions on its 747 aircraft from passenger to full freighter configuration, and since 2004 has partnered Boeing in its 747-400 Special Freighter conversion programme. The company also provides line maintenance services to customers at Beijing, Shanghai and Xiamen airports. In 2006, TAECO and major shareholder HAECO signed a Letter of Intent with Guangdong Airport Management Corp. to develop a maintenance facility in Guangzhou.
