Boeing and Joramco partner to launch freighter conversion facility in Jordan

In a significant collaboration, Boeing and Joramco have joined forces to establish a cutting-edge Boeing Converted Freighter (BCF) facility in Amman, Jordan.

Joramco is set to pioneer the role of the inaugural MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) provider in the Middle East, dedicated to facilitating forthcoming Boeing freighter conversions for both domestic and international aircraft. Strategically positioned in Amman, Jordan, Joramco’s geographical advantage positions it to provide unwavering support to future 737-800BCF operators across the expanse of the Middle East, Europe, North Africa and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).

Commenting on this occasion, Chief Executive Officer of DAE, Firoz Tarapore said, “Today’s announcement reaffirms our long-term commitment to our DAE Engineering division. Since acquiring Joramco in 2016, revenues have more than doubled, and we continue to expand our presence at our Amman, Jordan based facility, which is expected to reach 22 maintenance lines by the end of 2024. This latest agreement underpins our commitment, and we look forward to continuing to deepen our relationship with Boeing as well as developing new product offerings for Joramco’s global customer base.”

Fraser Currie, Chief Executive Officer of Joramco, added, “We’re very excited to grow our relationship with Boeing. The new 737-800BCF capability we’re bringing to our MRO is another major milestone for Joramco, and we are delighted that Boeing has selected Joramco as a future site for the 737-800BCF. Our geographic location in Amman, our deep MRO experience, and the opportunity to work together with DAE on their customers’ requirements makes this a very exciting opportunity for Joramco.”
