ExecuJet MRO Services has been approved by Taiwan’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to become the overseas repair station for line and base maintenance on Taiwanese-registered Bombardier aircraft at its facility in Malaysia.

“We sought this approval in response to the needs of our customers in Taiwan. Our customers have been at the forefront in assisting us along the way in liaising with Taiwan CAA to ensure the approval is obtained expeditiously. We already have maintenance slots booked from our customers in Taiwan,” said Ivan Lim, regional vice president Asia at ExecuJet MRO Services.

The certification allows ExecuJet to carry out line maintenance and heavy maintenance checks, up to and including 96-month checks, on Bombardier Challenger 604 and 605 series aircraft.

It also approves line maintenance and heavy checks up to and including 120-month checks on Bombardier Global series aircraft – Global Express, Global XRS, Global 5000, Global 5500, Global 6000 and Global 6500.

In addition to airframe maintenance, ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia can now also perform engine line maintenance, including parts and engine replacement as well as its non-destructive testing (NDT) capability, namely  ultrasonic and eddy current inspections on airframes.

Taiwan is an emerging business market with nearly 30 business jets in the country. “Taiwan is a growing market for business aviation. We see sizeable numbers of business jets based in Taiwan, which we attribute to the growing economy,” added Lim.

“Access to Taiwan’s business aviation market creates opportunities for ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia to continue to expand, strengthening our position as a trusted MRO partner throughout the region.”

Execujet began offering MRO services in Malaysia in 2009 while the company was acquired by Dassault Aviation.

This facility serves as the headquarters for the Asia region and consists of 9,725 square meters of hangar and a further 4,162 square meters of workshops, storage and office space. ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia supports business jet owners and operators from the Asian region.
