FL Technics, a globally recognised provider of aviation MRO solutions, is strengthening its presence in the Middle East. This year, its subsidiary, FL Technics LLC, has begun providing fleet support for UAE-based airline Fly Vaayu, which operates across the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, and beyond.
Arif Alameri, Managing Director of FL Technics LLC, highlighted the significance of this expansion, stating: “The Middle East is a growing aviation hub, and our goal is to establish ourselves as a leading MRO provider in the region. Fly Vaayu is a key client for FL Technics LLC and we are committed to delivering faster and more efficient maintenance solutions.”
FL Technics LLC will provide maintenance for Fly Vaayu's Airbus A320P2F, a rare aircraft model converted from passenger to cargo use. This aircraft features a containerised belly compartment for faster loading and unloading, along with advanced engine technology. Currently, it is the only aircraft of its kind operating in the Middle East, though the number is expected to increase to four by the end of the year.
As Fly Vaayu's dedicated maintenance provider, FL Technics LLC will offer full-time onboard engineering services at each destination, allowing the airline to respond more flexibly to customer demands. The team of specialists will provide a comprehensive range of maintenance solutions, including line maintenance. Additionally, engineers will assist in aircraft de-registration and re-registration procedures, ensuring a smooth certification process.
Earlier this year, FL Technics expanded its operations in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) by opening a new line maintenance station at Dubai World Central (DWC)/Al Maktoum International Airport. This move reinforces FL Technics LLC's position as a trusted leader in aviation maintenance solutions across the Middle East.
