The Mohammed bin Rashid Aerospace Hub (MBRAH) at Dubai South, the emirate’s dedicated aerospace district, has formally inaugurated TIM Aerospace’s new state-of-the-art maintenance hangar—now recognised as one of the largest independent MRO facilities in the Middle East. Constructed to the maximum permitted design dimensions, the hangar offers substantial capacity, accommodating up to 12 narrow-body aircraft or five wide-body aircraft of any type, with the exception of the A380.
The opening ceremony was attended by HE Khalifa Al Zaffin, Executive Chairman of Dubai Aviation City Corporation and Dubai South; Tahnoon Saif, Chief Executive Officer of MBRAH; and Timor Shah Shahab, founder of TIM Aerospace. Senior executives from both organisations joined them, alongside representatives from several leading airlines, reflecting the sector’s broad support for this milestone development.
TIM Aerospace’s new facility is designed to deliver high-quality, cost-efficient base maintenance services for a wide variety of commercial passenger and cargo aircraft. Its advanced infrastructure and significant capacity reinforce the company’s growing international footprint in the MRO sector, positioning it to serve global carriers seeking reliable, timely, and competitively priced maintenance solutions.
Speaking at the ceremony, Tahnoon Saif, CEO of the Mohammed bin Rashid Aerospace Hub, said: “The inauguration of TIM Aerospace’s new facility further strengthens Dubai’s position as a global aviation hub and a preferred destination for leading aerospace companies. At MBRAH, our mission is to create an integrated ecosystem that supports innovation, operational excellence, and sustainable growth across the aviation value chain.”
