Dassault Aviation has appointed ExecuJet Haite Aviation Services at China's Daxing International Airport as an authorized service center for its Falcon business jets. The French manufacturer confirmed the appointment today, approving the base near Beijing to perform warranty work on Falcon 6Xs, 7Xs, and 8Xs.

This upgrade in status for ExecuJet Haite’s Daxing facility expands Dassault’s AOG and line maintenance support capability in China. The operation, which opened last year, complements the maintenance, repair and overhaul provider’s existing facility at Binhai International Airport in Tianjin, which is already an authorized service center for Falcons.

Execujet Haite is a franchise operation based on a joint venture between ExecuJet MRO Services, which is wholly-owned by Dassault, and Chinese aviation group Haite. On Monday, the company announced it had received Part 145 maintenance approval from the Civil Aviation Administration of China.

The facilities in Daxing and Tianjin also support Gulfstream, Embraer, and Bombardier business jets. They are certified by several international aviation safety agencies, including EASA, the FAA, and the civil aviation authorities of the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, and Aruba. ExecuJet MRO Services also has facilities in Malaysia, the UAE and South Africa.
