KUALA LUMPUR: ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Dassault Aviation, has moved into its new purpose-built maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility at Subang Airport in Kuala Lumpur.
This internationally certified MRO facility reinforces Malaysia’s position as a regional MRO centre and highlights Asia’s importance as a growing business aviation market.
ExecuJet MRO Services regional vice president Asia Ivan Lim said the benefit of having a purpose-built MRO facility that includes new features to support MRO activity, such as a built-in overhead crane for aircraft engine changes, can be future-proofed.
“We also designed the hangar and workshops to optimise the workflow through the facility.
“The 105,000-ft 2 hangar can accommodate up to 15 medium and large business jets simultaneously, including the ultra-large-cabin Dassault Falcon 6X and Falcon 10X.
“Our previous facility at Subang Airport was smaller, and the hangar was originally designed for aircraft undercover parking,” he said in a statement.
The 149,500-ft two MRO centre, the largest business aviation maintenance facility at Subang Airport, also includes workshops, storage space, offices for staff and customers, training rooms as well as
rest areas.
This purpose-built facility offers customers the full suite of MRO services, from line maintenance and aircraft-on-ground (AOG) support to heavy maintenance checks, cabin interior refurbishments, satcom installations, avionics upgrades and other advanced modifications.
The aircraft types covered are those from Dassault Aviation, Bombardier, and Gulfstream.
“The business aviation industry in Asia, particularly Southeast Asia, has witnessed strong growth, driving demand for MRO services.
“The larger, purpose-built facility at Subang Airport allows us to cater to the growth in the business aviation market and expand our MRO capabilities,” said Lim.
The new hangar’s energy-saving design elements include large windows that allow for more natural light, LED lighting, high-volume, low-speed overhead fans for cooling, an 85kW rooftop solar system, and water tanks for harvesting rainwater.
ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia is certified by the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), the US FAA, the Civil Aviation Administration of China, and other national civil aviation regulators worldwide.
In a separate development, EASA and the US FAA have certified ExecuJet MRO Services
Malaysia will perform line maintenance and provide AOG support for Falcon 6X aircraft throughout the region.
