BRUSSELS (11 June 2026) \u2013 ExecuJet MRO Services Europe, has completed a major project on a Dassault Falcon 7X that included: installing a Starlink system and antennae, performing an avionics upgrade, an engine change, exterior repainting and a cabin refurbishment.<\/p>\n
The customer chose ExecuJet\u2019s Kortrijk facility, because it was the first company in the world to install the Starlink satcom system on a Falcon 8X, says ExecuJet MRO Services\u2019 regional VP for Europe, Matthijs Hutsebaut.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a new customer for us, but they were confident in our abilities because of our reputation of installing Starlink efficiently, and because we\u2019re a one-stop-shop that can make the most of the downtime to complete a significant amount of additional work,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
ExecuJet upgraded the 7X\u2019s avionics system from EASy II to EASy IV. \u201cThis was arguably the most challenging upgrade because of the amount of new wiring that needed to be installed due to the complexity of the \u00a0EASy IV over the EASy II \u201d says ExecuJet Europe\u2019s project lead, Bram Depuydt.<\/p>\n
EASy IV is a far more advanced avionics system that includes a new Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS), which makes more extensive use of satellite navigation for better situational awareness.<\/p>\n
ExecuJet also carried out a borescope inspection and engine change on the aircraft, cleaned the fuel tanks and completed component work on the landing gear. In addition, exterior painting was also carried out followed by the application of Permagard, a polymer-based treatment, to protect the airframe\u2019s exterior.<\/p>\n
Cabin refurbishment was carried out, which included installing new carpets, reupholstering the seats and side ledges and recovering the ceiling panel in the passenger cabin, as well as some areas in the cockpit.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
