ExecuJet MRO Services, through an agreement with Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad, will build its own 144,000-sq-ft maintenance facility at Subang Airport, replacing the 64,000 sq ft of leased facilities from which it currently operates. The new facility will encompass 125,000 sq ft of hangar space and about 19,000 sq ft of office and shop space.

More importantly, the new building will give ExecuJet “full operational control” of its Malaysian site. “These facilities we’ve been operating out of have limitations," Ivan Lim, ExecuJet v-p of MRO services in Asia, told AIN. "They’ve not been built to purpose. They are built actually to hangar aircraft, not 100 percent to cater for MRO operations.” Lim added that ExecuJet also has the right of first refusal on land at the airport for future expansion.
