ExecuJet MRO Services’ Australasian operation is celebrating its 25th anniversary in October, marking a quarter century of serving the business aviation community across Australia, New Zealand and the wider Asia-Pacific region.
Business aircraft maintenance specialist ExecuJet was founded in 1991 at Johannesburg’s Lanseria International Airport, where it remains headquartered today. The Australasian operation started in Sydney in 2000, and has evolved from a single-site maintenance provider into an award-winning, multi-facility regional network.
“Twenty-five years is more than a number; it’s a testament to the dedicated people who built this company from the ground up,” said Grant Ingall, regional VP for Australasia at ExecuJet MRO Services. “We’ve cultivated a culture where quality workmanship, attention to detail and outstanding customer service are paramount. The expertise in our hangars today is the direct result of that focus and our team’s relentless commitment.”
ExecuJet MRO Services Australasia’s workforce has grown to nearly 100 professionals, including licensed aircraft maintenance engineers and technicians as well as a “robust pipeline” of apprentices and technical trainees. Many team members have dedicated over a decade to the organisation.
“Our greatest asset is our people,” said Ingall. “We have engineers who’ve grown with us for decades, and we’re equally committed to mentoring the next generation. That combination of deep experience and new energy is what keeps us competitive and responsive to our customers’ evolving needs.”
ExecuJet MRO Services Australasia has continued to expand its MRO capabilities following Dassault Aviation’s acquisition of the ExecuJet MRO Services Group in early 2019. For example, it is certified to conduct line and heavy maintenance on all Dassault Falcon in-production aircraft types and many legacy models. Maintenance engineers and technicians are trained to the latest OEM standards.
The company’s mobile repair teams offer rapid response across Australasia, Southeast Asia and the Pacific, regularly deploying to resolve AOG situations with the backing of seven international regulatory approvals, including Australia’s CASA, US FAA, the New Zealand CAA as well as Indonesian, Bermuda, Cayman and San Marino approvals.
