ExecuJet MRO Services Appoints Matthijs Hutsebaut as Regional VP for Europe

BRUSSELS – ExecuJet MRO Services Europe, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dassault Aviation, has appointed Matthijs Hutsebaut as Regional Vice President for Europe.

He succeeds Christophe de Coppel who is now Dassault Aviation’s MRO Sales Director for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) as well as Asia Pacific (APAC).

Matthijs, in his new role, will be responsible for growing ExecuJet MRO Services Europe through more heavy maintenance work and by continuing to expand its AOG and line maintenance business.

“We’re qualified and certified to respond to AOGs anywhere in the world, and that’s how we aim to get more heavy maintenance work. Responding to an AOG efficiently and getting the aircraft airworthy and quickly back into operation, develops a strong bond with the customer, creating an opportunity for us to secure scheduled heavy maintenance work later on. I look forward to the new role and working closely with the team and customers, existing and new,” says Matthijs.

ExecuJet MRO Services Europe has an MRO centre at Brussels International Airport that handles AOGs throughout Europe and Africa and does line maintenance and another facility  in the northern Belgium town of Kortrijk that does mostly heavy maintenance work including heavy checks on Cessna Citations and various Dassault aircraft types such as the Falcon 7X and 8X, the Falcon 900 and Falcon 2000.

Matthijs first joined the company in February 2020 as Finance Manager and was instrumental in growing the business.   In 2021, he was promoted to Finance Director, which was his last held position before becoming Regional Vice President for Europe.
