ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia was granted CAAR-145 certification this week by Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) to conduct line and heavy maintenance on Gulfstream GIV and Bombardier Challengers and Globals.

Ivan Lim, vice president ExecuJet MRO Services Asia, said the company applied for the approvals from CAAC in response to demand from operators in China. According to Asia Sky Group fleet report, there are 62 Challenger series jets and 25 Global Express family jets based in Mainland China. Including Hong Kong and Macau, that number will increase to 76 and 61, respectively.

Dassault Aviation acquired Subang, Malaysia-based ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia earlier this year. It was part of a broader acquisition of ExecuJet’s MRO facilities across the world, which also included facilities in Belgium (Brussels and Kortrijk), South Africa (Johannesburg and Cape Town), Dubai, New Delhi, Kuala Lumpur, Tianjin, Australia (Perth, Sydney and Melbourne), and New Zealand (Wellington).
