Dassault Aviation has opened a major new maintenance,\nrepair, and overhaul facility In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, that will greatly enhance\nservice for Falcon operators in Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Operating under the ExecuJet brand, the state-of-the-art factory service center will be able to support 10-15 aircraft at one time, including Dassault\u2019s largest aircraft, the Falcon 6X<\/a>, which recently entered service, and the larger 10X, which will reach the market in 2027. The ExecuJet MRO network is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dassault Aviation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 149,500-ft2 Kuala Lumpur center will serve as a hub of\nbusiness aviation support for the entire Asia Pacific region, where business\njets are being used more widely than ever before. The facility was custom\ndesigned to support business aircraft and includes advanced features such as a\nbuilt-in overhead crane for aircraft engine changes. It replaces a smaller\nfacility originally built for aircraft undercover parking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Environmental factors were a major design driver for the\nKuala Lumpur complex. Among its many sustainable features are energy-conserving\nLED lighting, solar electric panels, and rooftop rainwater collectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOver the last half decade, we have more than doubled our\nglobal support capacity and considerably modernized our MRO capability,\u201d said\nJean Kayanakis, SVP for worldwide customer service. \u201cWe now have more than 60\nservice locations and 15 parts distribution centers around the world, along\nwith the GoTeams necessary to support aircraft in the field 24\/7 wherever they\nmay be. This is part of a strategy aimed at keeping us as close as possible to\nour customers and offering all the services needed to maximize the up-time and\nvalue of their Falcon fleets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to Kuala Lumpur, Dassault is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • building a new U.S. flagship MRO location in\nMelbourne, Florida to support Falcons operating in North and South America.\nThis center will open in 2025.<\/li>
  • adding capacity in the Northeast U.S. with\nanother authorized service center, Pro Star Aviation, located near Boston.<\/li>
  • relocating a facility in Sorocaba, near S\u00c3\u00a3o\nPaulo, Brazil to the newly opened Catarina International Executive airport.<\/li>
  • supporting the Indian market with a new\nauthorized service center in New Delhi, Indamer.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Last year, the company opened a major new ExecuJet MRO\ncenter at Dubai World Central airport. This 165,250 sq ft (15,350 sq m)\nfacility will vastly improve service to customers in the Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Dassault is also expanding the number of MRO locations that\ncan perform C checks and other major inspections and handle technology\nretrofits such as the EASy IV flight deck, the FalconEye Combined Vision\nSystem, and the FalconConnect high-speed Internet connectivity package.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
