ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia chose Champion Door's 140-meter hangar door for unmatched efficiency, reliability and expertise

ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia has recently opened a brand-new hangar at the Subang Airport, formally known as the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The new hangar features a Champion Door NK2 Double fabric fold-up door measuring up to an incredible 140 meters in width. The extra-large hangar door consists of 8 door leaves, boasting qualities such durability, reliability and minimal need for maintenance.

“In our new hangar, we provide an array of maintenance services. The aircraft typically housed in our hangars are luxurious, privately-owned business jets. Our customers turn to our services for their high quality. This also sets certain requirements for the building and its functions, such as the doors. Our new, reliable Champion Door door plays an important part in properly facilitating our operations”, says Nicholas Tan, General Manager for Technical Services.

Top-level technical expertise

ExecuJet MRO Services initially explored the option of acquiring sliding doors for the new hangar. Due to their heaviness, difficulty of operating and the amount of floor space they require, the company decided to view other options. The search yielded the option of fabric fold-up doors and one of the few providers in the world to be able to manufacture them in the required size range: Champion Door. Champion Door fabric fold-up doors are lightweight, easy-to-use, durable and reliable. They do not require extra floor space, are resistant to weather conditions and have minimal need for maintenance. According to Tan, the doors’ overall efficiency was the most important decision criterion.

“Champion Door helped us visualize the end result right off the bat. Their technical expertise was top-level – they knew exactly how the doors would work to their full potential as well as what would be beneficial and what would not be. They were also price-competitive and able to meet the required schedule. We had full trust in Champion Door right from the beginning. The entire team are absolute experts. The chief installer was also unbelievably knowledgeable and the door was installed in record time.”

Throughout the entire process from design to commissioning, Tan has also been nothing but pleased with Champion Door’s service and support.

“I have been incredibly happy. With any need for support along the way, Champion Door’s team has been quick to react. We have a direct point of contact to Champion Door and have always been able to reach out to them when needed.”

Fantastic experience with the door and with Champion Door as a company

ExecuJet MRO Services’ impressive 140-meter hangar door is now fully operational. Tan has been satisfied with the door’s performance, especially commending the remote control system that cuts reaction times and further simplifies operating the door. For even more advanced functions, ExecuJet MRO Services is interested in looking into the newly-launched CD Cloud remote management and monitoring system.

“We have had a fantastic experience with the door and with Champion Door as a company. Our new Champion Door door is the centerpiece of the building. The sheer size of the door means it cannot be missed. It is something we are quite proud of. The Champion Door team has been forthcoming and eager to achieve our common goal. I would absolutely recommend cooperation to others.”
