Kuala Lumpur – Taiwan’s Civil Aviation Administration (CAA) has approved ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dassault Aviation, to be an overseas repair station for line and base maintenance on Taiwanese-registered Bombardier aircraft.

The certification approves ExecuJet for line maintenance and heavy maintenance checks, up to and including 96-month checks, on Bombardier Challenger 604 and 605 series aircraft.

It also approves line maintenance and heavy checks up to and including 120-month checks on Bombardier Global series aircraft –  Global Express, Global XRS, Global 5000, Global 5500, Global 6000 and Global 6500.

The CAA approval is significant because it is the first time ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia is approved to maintain Taiwan-registered aircraft. Taiwan is a sizeable market with around 30 business jets.

Besides airframe maintenance, the Taiwan CAA has also approved ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia to perform engine line maintenance, including parts and engine replacement as well as its non-destructive testing (NDT) capability, namely  ultrasonic and eddy current inspections on airframes.

Ivan Lim, Regional VP Asia at ExecuJet MRO Services says:  “We sought this approval in response to the needs of our customers in Taiwan. Our customers have been at the forefront in assisting us along the way in liaising with Taiwan CAA to ensure the approval is obtained expeditiously. We already have maintenance slots booked from our customers in Taiwan.”.

He adds: “Taiwanese operators of Bombardier business jets will now benefit greatly because our facility at Malaysia’s Subang Airport is close to Taiwan providing added capacity and options for them to have their aircraft maintenance done in the region.”

“Taiwan is a growing market for business aviation. We see sizeable numbers of business jets based in Taiwan, which we attribute to the growing economy,” says Lim. “Access to Taiwan’s business aviation market creates opportunities for ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia to continue to expand, strengthening our position as a trusted MRO partner throughout the region,” he adds.

台灣民航局核准宜捷維修服務維修龐巴迪飛機,標誌其進軍台灣市場

 

吉隆坡台灣民用航空局(CAA)已核准宜捷維修服務馬來西亞(達索航空的全資子公司)作為台灣註冊龐巴迪飛機的海外維修站,提供航線和基地維修服務。

此次認證允許宜捷維修服務進行航線維修及重大維修,包括最高至96個月檢修的Bombardier Challenger 604和605系列飛機維修服務。

此外,也批准了包括最高至120個月檢修的Bombardier Global系列飛機(如Global Express、Global XRS、Global 5000、Global 5500、Global 6000和Global 6500)的航線和重大維修服務。

此次CAA認證具有重要意義,因為這是宜捷維修服務馬來西亞首次獲准維修台灣註冊的飛機。台灣是商務飛機的重要市場,目前約有30架商務噴射機。

除了機身維修,台灣民航局還批准宜捷維修服務馬來西亞進行發動機航線維修,包括零件和發動機更換,以及無損檢測(NDT)能力,如超聲波和渦流檢測服務。

宜捷維修服務的亞洲區副總裁Ivan Lim表示:「我們根據台灣客戶的需求申請了這項認證。在此過程中,我們的客戶在與台灣民航局協調方面給予了我們大力支持,確保能迅速獲得批准。我們已經收到來自台灣客戶的維修預約。」

他補充道:「台灣的龐巴迪商務飛機運營商將受益匪淺,因為我們位於馬來西亞梳邦機場的設施靠近台灣,為客戶提供了更多的容量和選擇,可以在區域內完成飛機維修。」

Lim表示:「台灣是商務航空市場的一個增長市場。我們觀察到台灣擁有相當數量的商務噴射機,這可歸因於其不斷增長的經濟。」他補充道:「進入台灣的商務航空市場為宜捷維修服務馬來西亞提供了持續擴展的機會,進一步鞏固我們作為區域內值得信賴的MRO合作夥伴的地位。」
