The future facility will be 12,000 square meters in size, with a 5,000 square-meter hangar and an adjacent building spanning 2,250 square meters over three floors.
Comlux, a market leader in business aviation, is pleased to announce the groundbreaking of its new hangar facility at Dubai South’s Mohammed Bin Rashid Aerospace Hub (MBRAH). Tahnoon Saif, CEO of Mohammed Bin Rashid Aerospace Hub, and Richard Gaona, Executive Chairman and CEO of Comlux, were present at the groundbreaking ceremony.
The future facility will be 12,000 square meters in size, with a 5,000 square-meter hangar and an adjacent building spanning 2,250 square meters over three floors. On the ground floor of the adjacent building, 750 square meters of technical shops will be established. The two additional floors will be dedicated to commercial and management offices, lounges, and meeting rooms to welcome Comlux customers, in addition to a new design showroom for the ACJ TwoTwenty.
The ultra-modern facility will be outfitted with solar panels, allowing it to generate 100% of the electricity needed for the company’s operations. By the end of 2023, the hangar will be fully operational, allowing Comlux to provide line maintenance, AOG, and parking rental services to its Middle Eastern customers.
Tahnoon Saif, CEO, Mohammed Bin Rashid Aerospace Hub said, “We are pleased to attend the ground breaking of Comlux’s new facility, which will present an added value for VIP clients across the region and the overall business aviation sector. At Dubai South, our mandate is to foster our wise leadership’s vision of making the emirate becoming a leading global aviation hub. We will spare no effort in attracting top companies towards that end by supporting companies, such as Comlux, with their needs to complete and operate the new facility.”
