ExecuJet MRO Services Boosts Falcon Support in Australia

ExecuJet MRO Services Australasia is boosting maintenance capability to support the Dassault Falcon 7X at its Sydney facility, the company announced today. It is investing in specialist tools, as well as mechanic training and other technical resources, to service the trijet.

The operation at Sydney Airport (YSSY) is preparing to start conducting C-checks on the 7X starting in October. These are the most extensive scheduled maintenance events for the type and are required every eight years or 4,000 cycles. In addition to new tools, ExecuJet MRO Services is acquiring ground support equipment needed for the heavy maintenance checks on the French-made aircraft. Two of its technicians will undergo training at the FlightSafety International facility at Paris-Le Bourget Airport.

According to ExecuJet MRO Services regional v-p for Australasia Grant Ingall, the company is seeing growing demand to support Falcons. ExecuJet MRO recently completed a C-check on a Falcon 2000 in a project that also included exterior repainting conducted by partner Douglas Aerospace.

In July, the Sydney facility had three Falcons—a 2000EX and a pair of 900EXs—booked in for heavy maintenance checks at the same time. It has just been contracted to complete another Falcon 2000 C-check later this year.

ExecuJet MRO Services is wholly owned by Dassault, but also supports other business aircraft made by Bombardier, Embraer, Gulfstream, and Textron Aviation.
