The Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB) has certified ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia, a Dassault Aviation company located at Subang airport in Kuala Lumpur, to perform line and heavy maintenance on Japanese-registered Falcon 2000EX aircraft. This marks the first time JCAB has approved ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia as an overseas MRO organisation.

The Falcon 2000EX is a super mid-size aircraft that is popular in Japan because of its range and ability to perform steep approaches and access short runways. Japan is East Asia's third largest business jet market with 81 aircraft, as of the end of 2024, according to Asian Sky data.

Ivan Lim, regional VP Asia for ExecuJet MRO Services, says: “We see potential in Japan, as it is a sizeable business jet market and because operators there want to send their aircraft to an OEM-owned MRO organisation that is certified nationally and internationally. We applied for JCAB approval in response to market demand. As more customer queries from Japan come in, we will look to further expand the aircraft types in Japan we can serve.”

Besides Japan, ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia is certified by 15 other regulators including the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia, US FAA and EASA.

ExecuJet MRO Services is a Dassault factory-owned MRO organisation, so it can carry out maintenance work on behalf of the customer, under manufacturer warranty. ExecuJet's personnel are internationally certified and have done training with Dassault and other major OEMs. The company provides airframe maintenance, component and engine support and does cabin refurbishments, avionics upgrades, satcom installations and more.
