The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the US FAA have certified ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia to perform line and base maintenance checks on Falcon 7X aircraft at its MRO facility at Subang Airport.

The EASA has also certified the company to perform non-destructive testing (NDT) using ultrasonic, eddy current, magnetic particle and penetrant testing.

Meanwhile, the US FAA has certified ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia for additional two NDT methods using ultrasonic inspection and penetrant testing.

Ivan Lim, regional vice president Asia at ExecuJet MRO Services, said: “The base maintenance approval for Falcon 7X is significant as there are demands from European-registered Falcons based in Asia in addition to those that are passing through the region.

“Having EASA certification, which is an international certification recognised by many other civil aviation regulators, demonstrates we meet stringent requirements imposed by the regulator.

“The NDT capability we have added is important, as it further complements heavy base maintenance checks, helping us to identify structural defects efficiently and reduce disruptive unscheduled downtime.”
