ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia, a Dassault Aviation company, has announced that it has been certified by the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB) to perform line and heavy maintenance on Japan-registered super mid-size Falcon 2000EX aircraft.
This is a special milestone for the company, as it marks the first time JCAB has approved ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia as an overseas maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) organisation.
Ivan Lim, Regional VP Asia for ExecuJet MRO Services commented: “We see potential in Japan, as it is a sizable business jet market, and because operators there want to send their aircraft to an OEM-owned MRO organisation that is certified nationally and internationally.”
He says: “We applied for JCAB approval in response to market demand. As more customer queries from Japan come in, we will look to further expand the aircraft types in Japan we can serve.”
The Falcon 2000EX is popular in Japan because of its range and ability to do steep approaches and access short runways, the company says.
ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia is also certified by 15 other regulators including the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia, US FAA and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
