ExecuJet MRO Services Middle East has begun heavy maintenance checks on South African-registered Embraer Legacy aircraft after receiving approval from the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA).
The company’s Dubai facility, located at Al Maktoum International Airport, is now certified to perform checks up to the LU192-month interval. ExecuJet attributes this new business to the aircraft operating in the Middle East and its status as an Embraer and Rolls-Royce Authorized Service Centre, allowing them to handle engine maintenance and changes for the Legacy aircraft.
“The Dubai facility secured this business due to the aircraft already operating in the Middle East,” said Nick Weber, regional vice president for the Middle East at ExecuJet MRO Services. “As business and trade between the Middle East and Africa continue to grow, we anticipate more opportunities to serve operators from the neighbouring African region.”
The SACAA’s endorsement marks the 18th civil aviation regulator to certify ExecuJet MRO Services Middle East.
