STS Aviation Services, in collaboration with Diehl Aviation, has expanded its footprint in Dubai with the opening of a state-of-the-art facility in the Dubai Airport Freezone. This 1,100 m² site, strategically positioned in the airport's logistics hub, enhances both companies' regional presence and operational capabilities.
The facility will function as a shared workspace, with Diehl Aviation overseeing the final assembly and certification of cabin components under EASA Part 21G, while STS Aviation Services handles final assembly and kitting under Diehl's supervision. This partnership allows for a more efficient and integrated approach to aircraft maintenance and cabin component services in the Middle East.
Equipped with dedicated production lines, rework stations, spare parts warehousing, and office space, the facility is designed to streamline operations and improve service delivery. Initially, the focus will be on assembling components for the A380 aircraft family, such as lavatories and sidewall panels, with the flexibility to expand to other aircraft models as needed.
The expansion highlights both companies' dedication to delivering high-quality products and faster turnaround times. Furthermore, STS Aviation Services is progressing towards GCAA CAR 145 certification, which will allow on-site repair and certification of aircraft components in Dubai, complementing Diehl Aviation's existing EASA Part 21G certification.
By combining their expertise, STS Aviation Services and Diehl Aviation are reinforcing their commitment to innovation and excellence, ensuring they continue to meet the evolving needs of the aviation industry in the region.
