Read More » The transition to Hangar 4 marks an expansion under MAG’s Long-Term Business Plan 3.0 (LTBP 3.0), launched in December 2025, aimed at building a more future-ready, efficient, and resilient maintenance operation. “The successful commissioning of Hangar 4 marks a significant milestone in strengthening our engineering and maintenance capabilities as part of MAG’s long-term growth strategy. This expansion not only doubles our maintenance capacity at Subang but also enhances our ability to serve both MAG airlines and international customers more effectively. As demand for high-quality MRO services continues to grow across the region, Hangar 4 positions us to compete more strongly, support Malaysia’s ambition as a regional aviation hub, and deliver greater long-term value to the Group and our customers,” Captain Nasaruddin A. Bakar, President and Group CEO of MAG, said. The expanded capability strengthens MAB Engineering’s ability to support both Malaysia Airlines’ and Firefly’s fleet requirements, as well as third-party MRO customers, with capacity allocated equally between internal fleet maintenance demand and external commercial opportunities. Approximately 50% of the facility supports existing and projected maintenance requirements for Malaysia Airlines and Firefly, while the remaining 50% is dedicated to third-party customers, reinforcing MAB Engineering’s ambition to capture greater opportunities in the regional MRO market. Hangar 4 enables the simultaneous operation of four maintenance lines comprising one widebody (WB) line for the A330-200 and A330-300 aircraft, one narrowbody line for the Boeing 737-800 and Boeing 737-8, and two narrowbody propeller lines for the ATR72.
