ExecuJet Sydney to Launch Falcon 7X C-Checks in 2026

ExecuJet MRO Services Australasia will commence heavy maintenance C-checks for the Dassault Falcon 7X at its Sydney facility in October 2026. The expansion aims to address growing regional demand for major scheduled maintenance on larger Dassault Falcon business jets in the Asia-Pacific region.

In a press release issued on June 3, 2026, the Dassault Aviation subsidiary detailed its investment in specialized tooling and personnel to build local technical capability. This development reduces the need for Asia-Pacific operators to send their aircraft out of the region for mandatory heavy maintenance intervals.

Building local technical capability

The Dassault Falcon 7X requires a C-check every eight years or 4,000 flight cycles. To support this new capability, ExecuJet MRO Services is sending two Sydney-based engineers to FlightSafety International in Paris for specialized airframe and systems training.

The company is also actively recruiting an experienced Dassault Falcon 7X engineer from the Middle East to relocate and join the Sydney team. Grant Ingall, Regional Vice President Australasia for ExecuJet MRO Services, noted that the facility is becoming an increasingly important support location for the manufacturer.

“The combination of skilled people, investment in tooling and growing operator demand gives us a strong platform to further develop our Falcon maintenance capability,” Ingall stated.

Expanding regional Falcon support

The addition of Dassault Falcon 7X heavy maintenance follows recent work on other aircraft types in the manufacturer’s portfolio. ExecuJet MRO Services Australasia recently completed a C-check on a Dassault Falcon 2000, which included a full repaint conducted in collaboration with aircraft repainting specialist Douglas Aerospace.

The Sydney facility has already secured a second Dassault Falcon 2000 C-check scheduled for later in 2026. Ingall highlighted the growing demand for support in the region, particularly for larger aircraft types, adding that local investment allows the company to provide operators with more comprehensive support.

AirPro News analysis

We view this expansion by ExecuJet MRO Services as a strategic alignment with Dassault Aviation’s broader goal of strengthening its global aftermarket footprint. By establishing heavy maintenance capabilities in Sydney, the manufacturer can offer Asia-Pacific operators a more compelling value proposition, minimizing the downtime and ferry flight costs traditionally associated with sending aircraft to Europe or North America for C-checks.
