The new facility will provide premium and cost-efficient aircraft base maintenance services for various types of wide- and narrow-body commercial passenger and cargo aircraft.
The Mohammed bin Rashid Aerospace Hub (MBRAH), Dubai’s dedicated aerospace platform, has joined hands with Tim Aerospace to commence construction on a new hangar at Dubai South. The ceremony, held at MBRAH in Dubai South, was attended by His Excellency Khalifa Al Zaffin, Executive Chairman of Dubai Aviation City Corporation and Dubai South, alongside Timor Shah Shahab, Founder and CEO of Tim Aerospace, along with senior executives from both entities.
Scheduled for completion by 2025, the new facility is poised to become one of the largest wide-body capable aircraft Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) hangars in the GCC region. With the capacity to accommodate up to five wide-body aircraft of any type, except the A-380, the hangar will offer premium and cost-efficient base maintenance services for various types of wide- and narrow-body commercial passenger and cargo aircraft.
In a statement, Tahnoon Saif, CEO of Mohammed bin Rashid Aerospace Hub, said: Following the agreement with Tim Aerospace last year, we are pleased to witness the groundbreaking of the new hangar, which will be of added value to the sector given the huge demand for MRO services across the region, and its expected growth in the coming years. The aviation sector is a key contributor to Dubais economic development, and we are committed to supporting its growth and to cement the emirates position as a global aviation city.
Timor Shah Shahab commented: Our new facility will play a crucial role in enhancing aircraft maintenance capabilities within the UAEs aviation ecosystem. We strongly believe in the sectors future, given the governments strategic vision of creating such an excellent business environment for companies to flourish and the advanced infrastructure and solutions that the Mohammed bin Rashid Aerospace Hub provides. We also express our gratitude to the entire team at MBRAH for their support, and we are geared up to accommodate our discerning regional clientele across the aviation sector.
MBR Aerospace Hub, situated within Dubai South and developed by Dubai South, offers global aerospace players high-level connectivity and serves as a free-zone destination for leading airlines, private jet companies, MROs, and associated industries. It is home to maintenance centres, training, and education campuses, playing a pivotal role in strengthening engineering industries and advancing the emirates vision of becoming a leading aviation hub.
