Kindly share with us details about the new MRO facility in Dubai in terms of infrastructure, technology, approvals, etc.?
We designed our new MRO centre at Dubai's Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) to meet projected growth in business aviation in the Middle East region. The hangar can handle 18-24 midsize to large business jets simultaneously, including the very largest Dassault business jets such as Falcon 6X and Falcon 10X.
The new MRO centre is spread over 15,350 m2 and is replete with a larger hangar, back offices, training facilities and spare parts storage rooms. The new hangar specifically, has 8,300 m2 of floor space, about 1200 m2 more than the hangar space at our old facility at Dubai International Airport (DXB). A key difference is our operations at DWC will all be under one roof, as opposed to being split between two hangars as they were at DXB.
There is also an additional 3100m2 of workshops that will expand our MRO capabilities. We already have workshops for wheel and brakes, batteries, avionics, etc. However, with more space we can expand the capabilities even further.
The facility will also become ExecuJet's new Middle East headquarters in Dubai while the company will still retain AOG capability at Dubai International Airport (DXB).
What are the new capabilities that ExecuJet MRO Services ME will focus upon?
ExecuJet MRO Services Middle East is a multi-OEM facility and supports many types of Dassault, Bombardier, Embraer, and Hawker business jets. In the region, we also work with cabin interior specialists, F/List, to provide cabin refurbishment services in response to customer demand.
