KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 11): ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia, a subsidiary of French aerospace firm Dassault Aviation SA, has received Bermuda Civil Aviation Authority (BCAA) certification to perform line and heavy maintenance on Dassault Aviation business jets.

This new certification means ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia’s maintenance, repair and overhaul facility at Subang airport, Selangor is now recognised by the Bermuda civil aviation regulator as an approved foreign repair station to carry out the above-mentioned maintenance work.

“The Bermuda approvals were in response to the significant number of Bermuda-registered business jets flying in the Asian region," ExecuJet regional vice-president for Asia Ivan Lim said in a statement today.

"Our Subang airport facility has already been supporting Bermuda registered business jets since receiving our initial approval in 2014. Adding the Dassault Falcon aircraft types onto our approval list was a natural progression for us,” he added.

The certification covers the Falcon 900EX up to and including the 12-month or 800 flight cycle (FC) inspection; Falcon 2000EX C-checks, which are equivalent to 72-month or 3,750FC inspection; and Falcon 7X and Falcon 8X business jet C-checks, which are equivalent to 96-month or 4,000FC inspection.

ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia has a long track record working with the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and is also certified by the FAA to perform maintenance on US-registered Dassault, Bombardier and Gulfstream business jets.

“Having progressively added certifications like the Bermuda approval, ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia has truly gone beyond a full-service MRO company to the first port-of-call organisation for business jet operators flying into the region. We look forward to strategically adding other approvals in order to serve the market,” said Lim.
