ATS Technic, the UAE's first independent EASA-certified provider of line- and base-maintenance services, has announced a new partnership with STS Aviation Services. This collaboration marks a significant step in reshaping the aviation maintenance landscape in the Middle East, as the two companies combine their expertise to offer an unmatched portfolio of services focused on safety, efficiency and innovation.
ATS Technic brings its deep-rooted knowledge of the Middle East market, along with cutting-edge facilities, while STS Aviation Services contributes its renowned global reputation for excellence. Through this strategic alliance, the two organisations will extend STS' line maintenance approvals to key locations across the region, including the UAE, Jordan, Oman and Saudi Arabia.
The partnership aims to create a powerful synergy that will elevate operational capabilities and introduce groundbreaking services. Notably, the collaboration will introduce several initiatives. First, STS will extend its CAA approvals to all ATS Technic stations in the Middle East, expanding service offerings to a broader range of airlines. Additionally, a state-of-the-art module-level engine shop will be established in the region, eliminating the need for costly and time-consuming engine shipping, thereby streamlining processes for regional airlines.
Furthermore, the partnership will enhance capabilities at ATS' new DWC MRO facility, which is positioned to provide exceptional services to the region's leading airlines. By leveraging innovative technologies, implementing best practices and fostering specialised expertise, this facility is set to meet the growing demands of the Middle East's rapidly expanding aviation sector.
Finally, a shared approach to aircraft components and parts trading will boost sales and operational efficiency, enabling both companies to serve a wider customer base and enhance their competitive edge. Together, ATS Technic and STS Aviation Services are poised to lead the way in aviation maintenance across the Middle East.
