Malaysia Records RM4.16 Billion in Approved MRO Investments

Malaysia has secured RM4.16 billion in approved investments across 55 maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) projects as of June 2026, according to the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA). The projects are expected to generate 11,623 employment opportunities, strengthening the country’s position in the regional aerospace industry.

MIDA chief executive officer Datuk Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid said Malaysia aims to capture at least five per cent of the global MRO market by 2030 under the New Industrial Master Plan 2030 and Malaysian Aerospace Industry Blueprint 2030.

New Engine Services Facility Strengthens Malaysia’s Aerospace Industry Ambitions

The opening of RRPF Engine Services Centre at Sendayan TechValley, Negeri Sembilan, marks another step in expanding the country’s specialised aviation capabilities.

The facility is RRPF’s first dedicated centre for engine redelivery, recertification and storage, with Aircamo serving as its maintenance partner. MIDA said the collaboration would introduce specialised services that few countries in the region currently offer.

Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim highlighted the importance of developing skilled local talent and encouraging Malaysian companies to participate in specialised engineering, tooling, testing and technical services.

He also noted that Rolls-Royce has maintained a presence in Malaysia for more than 60 years. The new facility is expected to strengthen the country’s aerospace supply chain as aviation demand continues growing across the Asia-Pacific region.

Malaysia’s RM4.16 billion in approved aerospace MRO investments is expected to create more than 11,600 jobs by supporting industry growth.
