MAB Engineering Services, the sister company of Malaysia Airlines, has doubled its maintenance capacity at Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (WMSA) in Subang, Malaysia, with the successful commissioning of its new Hangar 4 airframe maintenance facility. MAB provides aircraft maintenance to Malaysia Airlines’ fleet as well as to third-party customers.
This 237,000-sq-ft addition strengthens its position as a regional maintenance, repair, and overhaul provider, further supporting parent company Malaysia Aviation Group’s (MAG’s) growing aviation ecosystem. In addition to handling the company’s airliners, the new narrowbody bay can service a range of aircraft from light to large-cabin business jets, with capabilities extending to maintenance for Boeing Business Jets.
“This expansion not only doubles our maintenance capacity at Subang, but also enhances our ability to serve both MAG airlines and international customers more effectively,” said MAG president and group CEO Nasaruddin Bakar. “As demand for high-quality MRO services continues to grow across the region, Hangar 4 positions us to compete more strongly, support Malaysia’s ambition as a regional aviation hub, and deliver greater long-term value to the group and our customers.”
