KUALA LUMPUR – ExecuJet MRO Services has added some new capabilities that will ultimately give the company an even greater competitive edge when it comes to providing better turnaround times.<\/p>\n
Regional VP Asia at ExecuJet MRO Services, Ivan Lim, says the Malaysian facility at Subang Airport has added\u00a0zinc-nickel and cadmium\u00a0electroplating technology to its in-house repertoire.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had been using outside vendors to provide this service to our customers, but as Malaysia\u2019s largest business aviation MRO company, having this technology in-house allows ExecuJet to have better control over the workflow for airframe heavy maintenance checks and ultimately to provide better turnaround times.\u201d says Lim.<\/p>\n
Zinc-nickel and cadmium\u00a0electroplating are important technologies, especially in the aerospace industry. The technology involves applying a smooth, thin layer of\u00a0cadmium\u00a0or zinc-nickel to metal airframe parts. Cadmium and zinc-nickel protect metal against surface corrosion, even in high-salt environments.<\/p>\n
Besides airframe maintenance, ExecuJet continues to see higher demand for engine maintenance services as well. The Malaysian facility recently performed the first ever event in the region for the removal and installation of the engine fan case on a Dassault Falcon 7X. The fan case removal was done in parallel with the aircraft annual base maintenance..<\/p>\n
Lim says ExecuJet MRO Services is a Dassault factory-owned MRO and \u201cthe team are Dassault-trained engineers and technicians able to perform engine removals and installations.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe team performed the task smoothly. We have invested in the necessary tooling and spare parts to perform this critical maintenance task, amongst others. We are ready to assist our Pratt & Whitney Canada PW300 engine series customers with all requests,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n
The Falcon 7X trijet is powered by three Pratt & Whitney Canada PW307A engines while the Falcon 8X is powered by three PW307D engines.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
