Jet Aviation, which runs the first executive aviation maintenance facility at the Dubai International Airport, has completed 15 years of operations in Dubai.
The company’s MRO and FBO facility at Dubai International Airport, which was opened to support its growing clientele in the Middle East, was officially inaugurated at the 2005 Dubai Airshow. In 2017, also at the Dubai Airshow, it launched a second FBO at Al Maktoum International Airport in Dubai South.
Jet Aviation, a wholly owned subsidiary of General Dynamics, was recently voted #1 in the Professional Pilot 2020 PRASE Survey’s Best Middle East & African FBO category. It also won the Fixed Base Operator of the Year award at the 2019 Aviation Business Awards. In a recent audit, the company’s high safety standards were acknowledged by the International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) through re-issuance of IS-BAH Stage Two certificates to Jet Aviation Dubai at both of its FBO locations (DXB and DWC).
The company supports numerous national approvals and multiple OEMs at its facilities in Dubai. It is an Authorized Service Center (ASC) for Gulfstream Aerospace and Boeing Business Jets (BBJ), an appointed member of the Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJ) Service Center Network (SCN) and complements a large service portfolio with additional approvals for Dassault, Bombardier and Embraer aircraft types.
Jet Aviation operates a network of MRO facilities in Basel, Dubai, Geneva, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore and Vienna that support one another, and coordinate scheduled and on-demand maintenance, including global 24/7 AOG support. In November, the company’s Dubai maintenance facility delivered the region’s first 4C-Check on a Dassault Falcon 50, working with the company’s historic MRO facility in Basel for technical input.
“Our goal is to exceed customer expectations in all that do, ensuring the highest safety and quality standards and providing an exceptional customer experience,” said Hardy Butschi, Vice President Regional Operations Middle East & GM Dubai.
