GE Aerospace has certified ExecuJet MRO Services Middle East as an authorised service centre (ASC) for line maintenance on GE Passport engines, which power the Global 7500 aircraft.
The company operates an MRO facility at Dubai’s Al Maktoum International Airport and also conducts non-destructive testing for GE Aerospace’s GE90 family of commercial engines.
“We expect this GE certification to bring more Global 7500s to our MRO facility for heavy airframe maintenance checks, which often coincide with engine overhauls and inspections,” said Nick Weber, regional vice president, Middle East at ExecuJet MRO Services.
This makes ExecuJet MRO Services the sole ASC for this engine type in both North Africa and the Middle East. The decision to extend this certification to ExecuJet MRO Services Middle East follows the recent approval by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
