Singapore, Beijing – Jet Aviation has announced its Singapore facility has been accredited as an authorized Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJ) Service Centre, marking a significant expansion of its maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) capabilities in the Asia-Pacific region. Simultaneously, ExecuJet Haite has expanded its Dassault Falcon MRO services by establishing a new authorized service center at Beijing Daxing International Airport.
Jet Aviation's ACJ Expansion in Singapore
Jet Aviation’s Singapore facility, located at Seletar Airport, is now the sole ACJ Service Centre Network member in Asia-Pacific. This accreditation allows the facility to conduct authorized maintenance, modifications, warranty work, interior cabin refurbishments, and software upgrades for ACJ 318/319/320/321 series aircraft. The agreement was formalized at a signing ceremony attended by David Best, Jet Aviation’s senior vice president of regional operations for the Americas and interim APAC, and Chadi Saade, President of Airbus Corporate Jets.
“We are very proud to see Singapore join our sites in Basel and Dubai as a member of the ACJ Authorised Service Center Network,” stated David Best. “Singapore is a crucial business aviation maintenance hub in Asia-Pacific, with excellent connectivity to the region and beyond. This expansion of our on-site capabilities reinforces our global partnership with ACJ and our dedication to providing seamless service to Airbus customers.”
Chadi Saade added, “We are delighted to extend our long-term partnership with Jet Aviation. Very soon, our customers in Asia will benefit from the same high-quality, Airbus-approved services in Singapore that are already available at Jet Aviation’s facilities in Basel and Dubai. This milestone significantly expands our ACJ Service Centre Network in Asia, addressing our operators’ needs globally.”
Jet Aviation has operated in Singapore since 1995, establishing itself as a comprehensive MRO hub. The facility boasts six hangars totaling 15,000 square meters, offering a wide range of services, including heavy base maintenance, refurbishment, modifications, aftermarket services, pre-purchase inspections (PPI), and aircraft-on-ground (AOG) support. The site holds EASA Part 145 approval and certifications from eight countries. Jet Aviation, a General Dynamics subsidiary, employs 4,000 people across 50 locations worldwide.
ExecuJet Haite Expands Dassault Falcon Services in Beijing
In a parallel development, Dassault Aviation has expanded ExecuJet Haite Aviation Services China’s status as an Authorized Service Center (ASC) for Falcon aircraft, now including a new purpose-built MRO facility at Beijing Daxing International Airport. This move establishes a key service point in Beijing, China’s largest business aviation market.
The new 5,000 square-meter Beijing Daxing facility will provide airframe maintenance, AOG support, and line maintenance services for Falcon 6X, 7X, and 8X models. This complements ExecuJet Haite’s existing MRO facility at Tianjin Binhai International Airport, also a Dassault Aviation ASC.
Both the Beijing Daxing and Tianjin facilities are Part 145 maintenance organizations, certified by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Civil Aviation Authority of the Cayman Islands, Bermuda Civil Aviation Authority, and Aruba Department of Civil Aviation.
“The expansion of our MRO footprint is a key element in our continuous effort to enhance customer support and services in the Greater China region,” said Paul Desgrosseilliers, general manager of ExecuJet Haite. “We are committed to investing in ground support equipment, tooling, and training our engineers in France to deliver exceptional maintenance support for the Falcon fleet in both Tianjin and now Beijing.”
These expansions by Jet Aviation and ExecuJet Haite highlight the growing demand for premium MRO services in the Asia-Pacific region and underscore the commitment of major aviation companies to provide enhanced support to their customers in this rapidly expanding market.
