The Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB) has certified ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia to perform line and heavy maintenance on Japanese-registered Dassault Falcon 2000EX business jets. This approval is the first time the agency has approved the Dassault Aviation subsidiary as an overseas maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) organization.
Data from Asian Sky places Japan as East Asia’s third-largest business jet market, with 81 aircraft based there as of the end of 2024. According to Dassault, the Falcon 2000EX has sold well in the country due to its combination of range and the ability to make steep approaches and access short runways.
“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 organization that is certified nationally and internationally,” said Ivan Lim, regional v-p for Asia with ExecuJet MRO Services. “We applied for JCAB approval in response to market demand. As customer queries from Japan come in, we will look to further expand the aircraft types in Japan we can serve.”
Kuala Lumpur-based ExecuJet MRO Services is already approved by 15 other regulators, including the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia, FAA, and EASA.
