ExecuJet South Africa MRO completes modification work on Falcon 900EX

ExecuJet said that its Johannesburg, South Africa MRO recently completed a 2C heavy maintenance check on a Dassault Falcon 900EX.

“We support all in-production Falcon models at our facility. With the growing number of Falcons in the region, we look forward to more line and base maintenance work coming to the facility,” said Vince Goncalves, regional vice president Africa for ExecuJet MRO Services.

The maintenance included additional work, such as removing and reinstalling the wing’s outermost surface and modifying the wing’s dry bay. The company said that A cabin interior refurbishment and the overhaul of the landing gear were done additionally during the scheduled 2C check to minimise aircraft downtime.

The aircraft owner is a repeat customer of the Johannesburg’s Lanseria International Airport centre.

Goncalves further added that: “Falcon operators prefer to send their aircraft to us because we are a factory-owned Falcon service centre that has an experienced local workforce trained by Dassault.”

Dassault’s three-engine Falcons are popular with African operators due to their range and airport runway performance, particularly in ‘hot and high’ flying conditions.

Separately, ExecuJet MRO Services South Africa has also concluded 1C inspection on a South African-registered Falcon 50B.
