Taiwan Approves ExecuJet Malaysia for Bombardier MRO Work
Kuala Lumpur facility provides line and base maintenance for Challengers and Globals
ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia is approved to support Taiwanese-registered Bombardier business aircraft.

Taiwan’s Civil Aviation Administration (CAA) has approved ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia to provide line and base maintenance as an overseas repair station for Taiwanese-registered Bombardier aircraft. Announced today, the approval covers 96-month heavy maintenance checks on Challenger 604s and 605s, and 120-month checks on Global-family jets up to the Model 6500.

The approval marks the first time that the Kuala Lumpur-based maintenance, repair, and overhaul facility has been cleared to support Taiwanese aircraft. Taiwan is home to about 30 business jets.

In addition to airframes, ExecuJet MRO Services, which is wholly owned by Dassault Aviation, is also now certified to work on engines and parts. The facility at the Malaysian capital’s Subang Airport can also conduct non-destructive testing using ultrasonic and eddy current processes on airframes.

“Our customers have been at the forefront in assisting us along the way in liaising with the Taiwan CAA to ensure that the approval is obtained expeditiously,” said Ivan Lim, ExecuJet MRO Services’ regional v-p for Asia. “We already have maintenance slots booked from our customers in Taiwan.”

Bombardier’s factory-owned service center in Singapore holds Taiwanese approval to provide line and base maintenance on Globals and Challengers, as well as the Learjet family. The OEM also has a service facility in Tianjin, China, and a parts depot in Hong Kong.
