DC Aviation Al-Futtaim, a United Arab Emirates-based business aviation services provider, has completed its first 60 months maintenance check on a Bombardier Global 6000.

The aircraft, which is owned by a private customer, underwent its first heavy maintenance check at DCAF's hangar at Al Maktoum International Airport in Dubai. The maintenance inspection is the largest undertaken by the DCAF team to date, involving over 2,000 man-hours and adept management of several logistical challenges with the support of local and overseas partners.

In addition to the comprehensive inspection, the DCAF team provided invaluable support for various line maintenance activities, including wheel shop and battery shop requests, during the project.

Chris Rosewarne, maintenance manager at DCAF says: “This is an important milestone that marks the first time DCAF's highly trained technicians have performed a 60-month check on a Global 6000 aircraft. The successful completion of this complex inspection further highlights the investments we have made in expanding our capabilities, which have allowed us to provide our customers with reliable and cost-effective maintenance services. We are delighted to offer this high level of expertise and comprehensive support, including battery and wheel shop capabilities, for Global and Challenger aircraft at DWC.”
