ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dassault Aviation, has completed a 2C heavy maintenance check on a Philippine registered Dassault Falcon 2000 at its Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Subang airport facility in Kuala Lumpur.

Regional VP Asia Ivan Lim says: “Being a member of the Dassault MRO network brings strategic advantage because of the close collaboration and sharing of expertise at the aircraft manufacturer’s level on this project.”

A 2C, one of the heavy C-checks for Falcon aircraft, is carried out every 12 years. The work scope included extensive removal and reinstallation of the entire cabin, airframe panels and detailed inspections to detect corrosion. For this project, the landing gear was required to be removed and sent to the workshop for overhaul.

“I would like to thank our customer for the confidence they placed in us and also to thank Dassault Aviation in France and the US for the great collaborative team work on this significant MRO milestone here in Asia,” adds Lim. “The Falcon 2000 is Dassault Aviation’s most prolific aircraft in Asia. We see enormous potential for this super mid-size aircraft in the Asian markets, especially southeast Asia. Coincidentally, these are markets where we have established a significant presence and reach over the years.”
