UAE budget carrier flydubai broke ground on its USD 190 mn aircraft maintenance, <\/strong>repair, and overhaul (MRO) <\/strong>facility in Dubai South<\/a><\/strong>, according to a statement<\/a>. The facility \u2014 scheduled for completion in 4Q 2026 \u2014 will span 32.6k sqm and host an aircraft hangar, support workshops, and office buildings. <\/p>\n

The rationale:<\/strong> \u201cWhen it is up and running in 2026, the MRO facility on Dubai South will bring us significant reductions in operational costs,\u201d COO Mick Hills said. \u201cHaving our own in-country MRO facility will ensure a quicker turnaround of our fleet maintenance while adhering to the highest quality standards.\u201d<\/p>\n

Part of a larger strategy:<\/strong> Flydubai has been on a quest to secure catered MRO services for its growing operations in order to cut down on costs and reduce schedule disruptions due to repairs. In February<\/a>, the airline inked a services agreement with Boeing that will see the latter provide tailored parts packages, including quick engine change kits for the airline\u2019s 737 Max fleet.<\/p>\n

REFRESHER-<\/strong> Flydubai secured an agreement with Mohammed bin Rashid Aerospace Hub (MBRAH) in Dubai South to set up the purpose-built MRO facility back in November<\/a> 2023. MBRAH launched the first phase of its Aerospace Supply Chain zone in Dubai South in April<\/a>, featuring 11 separate facilities tailored to support engine shops, solution workshops, and landing gear MRO services.<\/p>\n

UAE\u2019s been getting a lot of MRO attention lately:<\/strong> Falcon Aviation is set to plug nearly USD 100 mn (c. AED 367 mn) over the next five years into upgrading its MRO facilities<\/a> at Dubai\u2019s Al Maktoum International Airport. MBRAH, Liebherr-Aerospace, and Etihad Engineering all had a streak of MRO agreements<\/a> at MRO Middle East forum in Dubai back in February.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
