MENA means business with Al Khobar hub
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been identified as a key strategic hub for the MENA Aerospace Enterprises group's expansion strategy. An Al Khobar office will enable the company to increase its presence and invest.
Anil Kumar Dinesan has hailed the move as a remarkable achievement.

MENA Technics has opened a branch office in Al Khobar in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Through its new premises, MENA Technics is able to extend its suite of turnkey service offerings to new customers in Saudi Arabia. Those services include certification, design, analysis and consultancy solutions for a wide range of aircraft and helicopters, as well as aircraft spare parts supply and vendor representation.

Anil Kumar Dinesan, acting general manager and group CFO of MENA Aerospace Enterprises WLL and board member for MAE Aircraft Management WLL, states: “It is a remarkable achievement to extend MENA's footprint to another country beyond its headquarters in Bahrain and its presence in the UAE. Regardless of the setbacks imposed by the global pandemic, MENA has endured and even managed to thrive, continuing to build up its project portfolio with successful implementations and investing in new projects as well.

“Our objective is to be a profitable, financially-robust company with a focus on sustainable growth, that becomes increasingly attractive to shareholders, customers and employees.”

Saudi Arabia is a major emerging aviation market, especially within the context of the Middle East region. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been identified as a key strategic hub for the MENA Aerospace Enterprises group's expansion strategy. The group's new airline, MENA Cargo, which sits under MAE Aircraft Management, is slated to soon establish a KSA outpost for servicing the Middle East region.

MENA Technics previously strengthened its GCC service capabilities, establishing a representative branch at Business Bay, Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, in 2020.
