Hawker Pacific’s maintenance facility in Malaysia has been designated an authorized service center (ASC) for the Dassault Falcon 8X, 7X, 2000EX EASy and the Falcon 900EX EASy-series, according to the airframer. Hawker Pacific's Singapore MRO holds the same distinction.

Its location at Kuala Lumpur Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport offers 36,000 sq ft of space to provide line maintenance for local and based customers under ISO 9001:2008 certification. The facility is approved under the Malaysian aviation authority, with FAA and EASA approvals expected by the middle of this year. Along with maintenance, the location can also handle repair and overhaul, retrofits, modifications and upgrades and respond to AOG situations with a 24-hour go team.

“Strengthening our global ASC network is vital to Dassault Aviation’s commitment to providing top-notch support for all Falcon customers,” noted Jacques Chauvet, the OEM’s senior vice president of worldwide customer service. “We’re confident that Hawker Pacific’s excellent service record and exemplary safety standards will maximize customer satisfaction for Southeast Asian operators.”
