Jet Aviation has broken ground on a maintenance centre and 1,000m2 (11,300ft2) fixed-base operation (FBO) at Dubai International airport, which is scheduled for completion in January next year.
The new facility, a joint venture with Al Mulla Business Group of Dubai, will offer scheduled and unscheduled aircraft maintenance, airframe repair and modifications, avionics installation and retrofits for a variety of business aircraft types. Its 4,200m2 hangar will accommodate two Boeing Business Jets or Airbus Corporate Jetliners simultaneously.
The facility will join Jet Aviation's two FBOs in the region, at Jeddah and Riyadh in Saudi Arabia.
Meanwhile, Air Routing International has signed a long- term agreement with Jet Aviation's Singapore FBO to provide aircraft and passenger handling at Seletar airport.
