Jet Aviation announced that its Singapore facility has received accreditation to perform authorised maintenance, refurbishment, and warranty work as a member of the Airbus Corporate Jets Service Centre Network. Singapore is the third Jet Aviation maintenance site to join the Service Centre Network, and the only member in Asia-Pacific.
The agreement enables the company to perform authorised maintenance-related activities, modification, warranty work and claims, interior cabin refurbishment, and software upgrades for ACJ 318/319/320/321 series aircraft in Asia-Pacific. The announcement was made at a signing ceremony held at Jet Aviation’s maintenance site at Seletar airport, Singapore, with 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, in attendance.
“We are very proud to see Singapore join our sites in Basel and Dubai as a member of the ACJ Authorised Service Center Network,” says David Best, senior vice president regional operations Americas and interim APAC. “Singapore is a key business aviation maintenance hub in Asia-Pacific, with excellent connectivity to the region and beyond. This extension of our on-site capabilities builds on our ongoing global partnership with ACJ and our commitment to providing a seamless service for Airbus customers wherever, and whenever they need us.”
Chadi Saade, President of Airbus Corporate Jets said: “We are delighted to extend our long-term partnership with Jet Aviation. Very soon our customers in Asia will be able to receive the same high quality Airbus-approved services in Singapore that are already available at Jet Aviation’s facilities in Basel and Dubai. This milestone expands our ACJ Service Centre Network into Asia, further meeting our operators’ needs globally.”

Dassault Aviation taps ExecuJet Haite as service centre in Beijing
Dassault Aviation has expanded ExecuJet Haite Aviation Services China’s status as an Authorised Service Center (ASC) for Falcon aircraft, to include their new purpose-built MRO facility at Beijing Daxing International Airport for AOG and Line Maintenance services. This means Dassault Aviation now has an ASC for Beijing, the largest market in China for business aviation. Being an ASC allows ExecuJet Haite to perform warranty work, on behalf of the customer, that is covered by the manufacturer.
ExecuJet Haite’s 5,000m2 Beijing Daxing MRO facility now offers airframe maintenance, AOG support, and other services on the Falcon 6X, Falcon 7X and Falcon 8X models. The Beijing Daxing facility complements ExecuJet Haite’s MRO facility at Tianjin Binhai International Airport, which is also a Dassault Aviation ASC for Falcon aircraft.
ExecuJet Haite’s Beijing Daxing and Tianjin maintenance bases are Part 145 maintenance organizations. Both are certified by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), US FAA, Civil Aviation Authority of the Cayman Islands, Bermuda Civil Aviation Authority and Aruba Department of Civil Aviation.
Paul Desgrosseilliers, general manager, ExecuJet Haite, says: “The expansion of our MRO footprint is one of the key elements for continuous extension of our customer support and services portfolio in the Greater China region. We will continue to make substantial investments in ground support equipment, tooling, and having our engineers trained in France, all in effort to providing superb maintenance support for the Falcon fleet while operating in Tianjin and now Beijing, China.”
