ExecuJet MRO Services Belgium, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dassault Aviation, has received approval from the US FAA to perform line maintenance, AOG support and base maintenance on US-registered (N-reg) business aircraft.

This approval complements the company's existing EASA Part 145 certification and further expands its international certifications.

“A significant number of US-registered aircraft operate in or transit through Europe, requiring line maintenance and AOG support,” explains Matthijs Hutsebaut, regional vice president for Europe at ExecuJet MRO Services. “This FAA approval is an important milestone that enables us to grow these services and expand our access to the US business aviation market.”

Under the FAA approval, ExecuJet MRO Services Belgium is authorised to perform line maintenance on Bombardier Challenger 300/350, Global 5000/5500, Global 6000/6500 aircraft; line and base maintenance of Cessna Citation 560 XL/XLS and Citation 525, 525A, 525B and C aircraft. The US regulator has also approved it to provide base maintenance up to C checks on Falcon 7X, Falcon 8X, Falcon 9000EX EASy/DX/LX, and Falcon 2000 EX EASy/DX aircraft.

Hutsebaut continues: “This approval enhances our credibility and reinforces our position as a trusted MRO partner in Europe and beyond.”

ExecuJet MRO Services Belgium also holds certifications from the civil regulators of Aruba, Bermuda, Cayman Islands and Guernsey, in addition to its EASA approvals.
