KLIA, 2 May 2024 – MAB Engineering Services, a pioneering leader in Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) services within the Malaysian aviation industry, proudly celebrated its first anniversary since operating as a wholly owned subsidiary under the Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) with the launch of a suite of initiatives, including the nation’s first aircraft maintenance digital certification which was officiated by Dato’ Zaiviji Ismail Abdullah, Chairman of MAB Engineering Services and Datuk Captain Izham Ismail, Group Managing Director of MAG. This milestone not only signifies a remarkable leap in efficiency and security for MRO activities but sets the foundation for the implementation of the Aircraft Electronic Tech Log system which will be adopted by airline subsidiaries Malaysia Airlines, Firefly and MASwings. The integration of digital signatures into MAB Engineering Services’ mobility solution enhances operational efficiency and reliability. This pioneering initiative empowers engineering personnel to authenticate their actions and approvals digitally, removing the need for manual signatures and paper-based documentation. Eke Nazri Rahim, Chief Operating Officer of MAB Engineering Services, said, "As part of MAB Engineering Services’ digitalisation initiative in support of MAG’s Long Term Business Plan 2.0 (LTBP 2.0), this project aims to enhance efficiency and accuracy in delivering our engineering and maintenance services. Working closely with the Airworthiness Division of the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM), we are bringing changes to the current regulatory requirement to enable the implementation of the first-ever aircraft maintenance digital certification in Malaysia. The success will be a cornerstone in moving Malaysia’s aircraft maintenance industry into paperless aircraft certification, as well as strengthen our position as the MRO provider of choice.” Dato' Captain Norazman Bin Mahmud, CEO of Civil Aviation Authority Malaysia (CAAM), said , "We extend our commitment and support to MAB Engineering Services on the implementation of the first-ever aircraft maintenance digital certification in Malaysia. This initiative underscores their unwavering commitment to excellence and innovation, perfectly aligning with our vision for a modernised and efficient aviation sector. We eagerly anticipate witnessing the positive impact of this initiative on the industry as a whole." At the same event, MAB Engineering Services also unveiled its new uniform comprising a harmonious blend of elegance and functionality, and signifying a momentous step forward as it seeks to strengthen its position as a leading one-stop MRO provider in the region. These initiatives underscore its steadfast commitment to excellence, innovation, and safety, propelling the company towards unprecedented frontiers of operational efficiency and reliability. In May 2023, Malaysia Airlines Berhad (MAB)’s engineering and maintenance services arm underwent a reorganisation and is now known as MAB Engineering Services. Under MAG’s target operating model, MAB Engineering Services sits under the purview of the Aviation Services profit centre which is responsible for overseeing the cargo, ground handling and MRO operations, as well as the training academy for the Group.
