Van Nuys, Calif.-based MRO provider Western Jet Aviation (Booth 4223) has partnered with MJets, a Southeast Asia business aviation service provider, to establish a new FAA Part 145 maintenance facility at the latter’s FBO at Don Muang International Airport in Bangkok, Thailand. The MJets operation is currently a Cessna-appointed service facility and also services Gulfstream aircraft from the G200 through the G650.

 


“We see an alliance with Western Jet as a natural and mutually beneficial opportunity, opening the door to international operators seeking comprehensive and reliable Gulfstream maintenance from trusted providers in either side of the Pacific,” said MJets executive chairman Jaiyavat Navaraj. “MJets is perfectly positioned and delighted to be working with a company of Western Jet’s caliber and distinction.”
