ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia has broken ground on a purpose-built MRO center at Malaysia’s Subang Airport which will reinforce its status as a regional maintenance hub. While the Dassault Aviation subsidiary already has a facility at Subang, it will relocate to the larger facility when it is completed by the end of next year.

Capable of sheltering up to 15 business jets, including the Falcon 10X scheduled to enter service in 2025, the 149,500-sq-ft facility will also include corporate offices, customer areas, and back shops, as well as a dedicated apron.

According to ExecuJet MRO Services regional v-p Ivan Lim, the facility demonstrates its commitment to customers in the region as it was designed to maximize hangar space while incorporating environmentally conscious features such as natural and energy-efficient LED lighting, a rooftop solar panel system, and water tanks for harvesting rainwater. As well, the reinforced concrete floor will be able to accommodate much heavier aircraft than the current crop of business jets.

ExecuJet’s Subang MRO—one of the area’s largest MRO providers—serves Dassault, Gulfstream, and Bombardier operators and carries certifications from the Malaysian civil aviation authority, FAA, and EASA among others. It can also dispatch AOG repair teams throughout the region.
