Abu Dhabi Aviation (ADA) Group has signed five memorandums of understanding (MoUs) with Egypt’s Ministry of Civil Aviation, as the UAE and Egypt look to significantly expand their cooperation across the aviation industry.

The second MoU, signed by EgyptAir and Etihad Airways Engineering (Abu Dhabi), covers aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) cooperation between the two companies.
It aims to facilitate market expansion and knowledge exchange, industrial integration and technology transfer, human capital development, supply chain and logistics, and the establishment of joint MRO centres in the future.
The third MoU, signed by EgyptAir Academy and the Abu Dhabi Aviation Training Centre (ADA), sets out a strategic framework to enhance pilot and aviation training capabilities.
Among its initiatives are the preparation and implementation of basic (ab initio) and advanced (type rating) pilot training programmes, exchange of expertise and technical supervision in training design and education, and shared use of simulators and virtual/augmented reality training systems.
The fourth MoU, signed by GAL (UAE) and EgyptAir Maintenance & Engineering, aims to support logistics and parts supply services for Egyptian airports and airlines.
