Liebherr-Aerospace has signed an agreement with Mohammed Bin Rashid Aerospace Hub (MBRAH) to establish a new service centre at Dubai South. The agreement was formalised during the MRO Middle East exhibition 2025 in Dubai, underscoring the commitment to advancing aviation services in the region.
The new 2,400 m² facility is scheduled to begin operations in early 2026 and will significantly enhance Liebherr-Aerospace’s aftermarket service capabilities. Designed to support the Middle East’s increasing demand for aircraft component repairs, the centre will cater to a broad range of commercial aircraft, business jets, and helicopters. The facility will also be EASA Part 145 certified, ensuring high-quality maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services with a particular focus on air management system components.
Alex Vlielander, Chief Customer Officer at Liebherr-Aerospace & Transportation SAS, highlighted the strategic importance of this expansion, noting that increasing MRO capacity in the region allows for in-house servicing of more components. This will reduce logistical complexities and improve turnaround times, benefiting customers across the Middle East.
Tahnoon Saif, CEO of MBRAH, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating that the partnership reinforces Dubai South’s appeal as a premier aerospace hub. He emphasised MBRAH’s dedication to attracting leading aviation companies and facilitating their expansion within an integrated economic environment that connects them to global markets. This initiative aligns with Dubai’s broader vision to strengthen its position as a key player in the international aviation industry.
