KUALA LUMPUR (April 2): Rolls-Royce has certified ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia, a wholly owned subsidiary of French aerospace company Dassault Aviation, as a hub to provide maintenance services for its Rolls-Royce BR710A2-20 engines that power the Bombardier Global Express aircraft series.

ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia is already an authorised Rolls-Royce service centre for routine maintenance, inspections and minor repairs on this engine. But with the hub status, it allows the facility at Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (Subang Airport) to perform more advanced diagnostics and repairs, further enhancing its capabilities in engine maintenance.

In a statement on Wednesday, ExecuJet MRO Services regional vice-president for Asia Ivan Lim said the company was able to achieve hub status after making further investments in infrastructure, tooling, training and technology. The Malaysian facility is approved by several civil aviation regulators to do airframe heavy maintenance on the Global Express series.

“We continually strive to meet the evolving needs of business aviation customers. Offering airframe maintenance and engine support under one roof, streamlines the maintenance process for customers,” he added.

ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia opened a 149,500 sq ft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) centre at Subang Airport last year. Specialising in airframe, avionics and engine maintenance, its aircraft engineers are trained and certified on a wide range of aircraft including Bombardier, Dassault, Embraer, Gulfstream and Hawker.
