Jet Aviation has expanded its maintenance, interior refurbishment, NDT, and borescope capabilities at its hub, as well as its line maintenance and on-site support services in the region.
Jet Aviation has increased maintenance and refurbishment capabilities at its Dubai DXB hub in response to customer demand. The base maintenance hangar now has modular tail docking capability, allowing for more efficient heavy structural repairs on large cabin aircraft, while refurbishment capability, including full-cabin refurbishment, has been expanded with the addition of avionic modifications and upgrades, such as high-speed internet.
“We are committed to providing an effortless experience for all of our customers,” says Hardy Bütschi, VP regional operations Middle East & GM Dubai. “Part of this is growing and developing our capabilities and expertise to meet the evolving requirements of customers in and visiting the region. Over the past year we have seen more requests for larger cabin refurbishment, structural repair projects, avionic modifications, and upgrades at our fixed-wing maintenance site in Dubai and have adapted and expanded our capabilities to match. I am extremely proud of the team for this continued commitment to going above and beyond for our customers across all of our maintenance services, whether base maintenance or heavy refurbishment, an AOG in a remote location, or even customized on-site fleet support,” he further added.
To support growing volumes of NDT inspections for both maintenance and Pre-Purchase Inspection (PPI), the facility has also introduced improved techniques and equipment to cover Eddy Current and Ultrasonic inspections, as well as expanding on-site borescope capabilities both in-house and with OEM partners in the region.
“The Middle East is a key strategic hub in our network, and we are committed to supporting the growth of business aviation across the region,” says Jeremie Caillet, SVP regional operations EMEA. “We have been operating in the Middle East for over 40 years and our deep-rooted understanding and close relationships with our customers allow us to anticipate their needs and evolve our own capabilities to ensure we are ready to seamlessly support them today and in the future.”
