ExecuJet MRO Services Middle East (ExecuJet) part of Dassault Aviation, has entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Satys Aerospace to collaborate on aircraft livery services. This partnership includes the establishment of a state-of-the-art aircraft paint facility at Dubai South's Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC), slated to open in the first quarter of 2025.
The MoU indicates ExecuJet's intent to utilise the facility for livery projects once operational. The two companies will also explore joint marketing opportunities to enhance their service offerings. ExecuJet MRO Services Middle East specialises in line and heavy maintenance for a diverse range of aircraft, including Dassault, Bombardier, Embraer and Hawker models. Additionally, it provides cabin refurbishments and frequently oversees livery customisations for its clientele.
Nick Weber, ExecuJet's Regional Vice President for the Middle East and Paul Woods, Satys ASP International's Commercial Director, signed the MoU ahead of the Middle East and North Africa Business Aviation Association (MEBAA) Conference and Exhibition, being held in Dubai South from December 10–12, 2024.
The new paint facility will span 2,831 m² and feature climate-controlled environments, ensuring precision and quality in aircraft painting. It will accommodate various aircraft types, ranging from business jets to larger models like the Boeing 737-10 Max and Airbus A321XLR. Designed to serve business, commercial and VVIP aviation sectors, the facility is expected to have an annual capacity to paint up to 35 aircraft.
This partnership reinforces Dubai's position as a hub for aviation innovation and excellence, addressing growing demand in the region for high-quality aircraft livery services. The development also strengthens ExecuJet and Satys' presence in the Middle East's burgeoning aviation market, ensuring advanced, efficient, and comprehensive solutions for clients.
