Egypt, UAE ramp up aviation sector collab: Subsidiaries of Egypt’s flagship carrier, EgyptAir, inked several cargo and maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) MoUs with UAE-based aviation players to boost collaboration in the aviation sector, according to a cabinet statement. The agreements were signed during Egyptian Civil Aviation Minister Sameh El Hefny’s visit to Abu Dhabi.

Here’s a rundown of relevant areas of collaboration:

#1- Spare part trading: EgyptAir Maintenance and Engineering inked an MoU with Abu Dhabi-based MRO outfit firm Global Aerospace Logistics (GAL) to improve logistics services and provide spare parts for airports and airlines, while also exploring the establishment of a regional spare parts hub in Egypt to serve local, regional, and international markets.

#2- Exploring new cargo routes: Abu Dhabi-based cargo carrier Maximus Air Cargo inked an MoU with EgyptAir Cargo to launch new cargo routes and develop a new integrated logistics system.

#3- MRO collab: EgyptAir Maintenance and Engineering inked an MRO MoU with Etihad Engineering to enhance technical cooperation, boost knowledge transfer, and improve the regional MRO supply chain.

#4- Building up human capacity: EgyptAir Training Academy and Abu Dhabi Aviation Training Center also agreed to develop technical training programs for EgyptAir staff.

REMEMBER- EgyptAir 💙 UAE airlines: Last year, EgyptAir renewed its ground services contract with the UAE’s Emirates at Cairo International Airport. The national carrier provides ground services for Emirates’ cargo and passenger flight operations — one of its largest clients, operating around 100 flights per month from the airport, the statement said.
