ExecuJet Middle East, part of the ExecuJet Aviation Group, is extending the company's line maintenance capabilities in order to provide additional support during Dubai International Airport's runway closures in 2014.

ExecuJet has established a line station at Dubai Al Maktoum International Airport, which has been approved by the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) to conduct scheduled maintenance packages on Bombardier, Embraer and Hawker aircraft currently supported by the Dubai International Airport MRO. The line station is also expected to receive European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) approval by mid-December.

Nick Weber, maintenance director/accountable manager, ExecuJet Middle East Maintenance, says: “The runway closure period at Dubai International Airport will allow us to focus on major maintenance events at our Dubai MRO facility, where aircraft may be grounded for extended periods of time. We are reviewing alternative locations for further line stations to ensure we continue to provide a high level of service to our customers in Dubai.”

Maintenance approvals

In addition, ExecuJet Middle East has received Turkish SHY-145 approval, along with the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan MoTCA AMO certificate. These approvals enable the company's MRO to support Embraer Legacy and Bombardier CRJ 200 aircraft respectively.

Wayne Dooley, general manager - maintenance, ExecuJet Middle East, adds: “We are delighted to have secured these approvals, which bring our total number of national aviation approvals to 18. We already provide extensive support to our customers and look forward to expanding our capabilities even further. We are now pursuing Turkish SHY-145 approval for Hawker 700, 800 and 900 aircraft.”

ExecuJet Middle East is an authorised service facility (ASF) for Bombardier; an authorised service centre (ASC) for Embraer, Hawker, Rolls-Royce and General Electric; and an authorised dealer for Rockwell Collins and Honeywell.

ExecuJet is exhibiting at this year's Dubai Airshow from 17-21 November at the Dubai World Central Airport, stand 2406.
