Liebherr-Aerospace to open new Dubai service hub

Liebherr-Aerospace is set to open a dedicated service centre in early 2026 within the Mohammed bin Rashid Aerospace Hub (MBRAH) in Dubai South, marking a significant expansion of the company’s footprint in the Middle East. The new facility, strategically positioned beside the emerging Al Maktoum International Airport, will begin operations with EASA/GCAA Part 145 certification and will focus on enhanced support for air management components across commercial aircraft, business jets, and helicopters.

The development responds directly to rising regional demand for aftermarket repair and overhaul capacity for Liebherr equipment. The centre will span roughly 2,400 m² and will conduct a broad range of service activities on site, enabling the company to deliver greater value and improved operational performance to customers across the region.

Its location within MBRAH places Liebherr-Aerospace in close proximity to major operators, OEM partners, and logistics infrastructure, ensuring customers benefit from rapid, proactive support. Dubai’s status as a global aviation hub strengthens this advantage, allowing Liebherr teams to be physically near key fleets and to accelerate issue resolution across diverse aircraft types.

By providing component MRO services locally while maintaining full OEM quality standards, Liebherr-Aerospace aims to cut logistics times and streamline workflows for operators. Previously, customers in the Middle East depended on Liebherr facilities in Europe and the United States for support. The new Dubai centre eliminates that reliance by offering immediate, regionally based solutions delivered by local expert teams. This shift is expected to provide faster and more cost-effective logistics through direct routing via Dubai.

The Dubai expansion forms part of Liebherr’s wider global customer service strategy, which is built around a distributed network of service centres tailored to regional requirements. For Middle Eastern operators, the addition of this facility represents a significant strengthening of available OEM-focused support. Alongside core MRO capability, customers will gain improved access to product support, digital condition monitoring, optimised logistics, and spare parts pooling. Together, these enhancements are designed to elevate operational reliability and reinforce Liebherr-Aerospace’s long-term commitment to the region.
