ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia has been certified by the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB) to perform line and heavy maintenance on Japan-registered Falcon 2000EX aircraft, marking the first time JCAB has approved ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia as an overseas MRO organisation.
The Falcon 2000EX is a super mid-size aircraft that is popular in Japan because of its range and ability to do steep approaches and access short runways.
Japan is East Asia’s third largest business jet market with 81 aircraft, as of end of 2024, according to Asian Sky data.
Ivan Lim, regional vice president for Asia at ExecuJet MRO Services, said: “We see potential in Japan, as it is a sizable business jet market, and because operators there want to send their aircraft to an OEM-owned MRO organisation that is certified nationally and internationally.
“We applied for JCAB approval in response to market demand. As more customer queries from Japan come in, we will look to further expand the aircraft types in Japan we can serve.”
Besides Japan, ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia is certified by 15 other regulators including the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia, US FAA and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
