ExecuJet MRO Services Middle East completes Global 6000 MRO
ExecuJet MRO Services Middle East has completed a heavy maintenance check on a Bombardier Global 6000.
The MRO provider says work on the Indian-registered aircraft included a 15-yearly inspection, a cabin interior refresh, and exterior paint repairs.
The work was carried out ExecuJet MRO Services’ new 165,160 sqft purpose-built MRO at Dubai’s Al Maktoum International Airport.
ExecuJet MRO Services Middle East is approved by India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation to carry out heavy maintenance on multiple OEM aircraft including Dassault, Bombardier, Embraer and Hawker.
Located close to India, the facility minimises repositioning costs for aircraft, offers comprehensive in-house capabilities such as non-destructive testing (NDT), sheet-metal and composite work, and a dedicated paint department.
ExecuJet MRO Services Middle East claims it also met the customer’s expectations by offering a NTE (No To Exceed) proposal with the added value of maximising the downtime by scheduling the airframe heavy check with cabin refurbishment options and an engine change.
The MRO provider says its partner – F/List, an Austrian-headquartered cabin interior specialist with workshops in Dubai, performed the cabin refurbishment work in parallel to the scheduled maintenance.
Nick Weber, regional vice president Middle East at ExecuJet MRO Services, said: “In the past, some of the heavier base maintenance checks were carried out in Europe, because the cabin refurbishment work capability was there, but now that we have European cabin interior specialists based here in Dubai, we are capturing more of this type of refurbishment market.”
The Bombardier Global 6000 is powered by Rolls-Royce BR710A-20 turbofan engine, and ExecuJet MRO Services Middle East is a Rolls-Royce Authorised Service Centre.
This means the MRO provider owns the required tooling and has appropriately experienced and trained engineers to undertake engine changes that are covered under the Rolls Royce Corporate Care Program.
Weber added: “Certainly, being a Rolls-Royce authorised service centre may have been a contributing factor as to why we secured this project from the customer.”
