Mohammad Alamoush has been appointed the director of leasing and asset management at the Dubai office of MTU Maintenance.

The company says the appointment is part of its effort to further diversify the network’s services in the Middle East region.

Alamoush was previously based at MTU Maintenance Lease Services B.V. in Amsterdam, the location of the company’s main office for leasing and asset management.

With airlines in the Middle East expected to go through a transitionary period over the next three to five years within their engine fleet structures, MTU anticipates that its services can satisfy the growing demand for MRO and fleet optimisation.

Alamoush said: “Essentially, we want to be close to our current and future clients in the Middle East – that is, engine operators and lessors – as they transition from mature to new generation fleets, and offer our vast know-how during that period and beyond.

“MTU is a true one-stop-shop, so whether operators need engine exchanges, green-time leases, full MRO services, end-of-life or teardown solutions, or fleet management, our global network is ready 24 hours a day to get the job done.”

Sami Ben-Kraiem, vice president of sales and marketing Middle East and Southeast Asia at MTU Maintenance, said: “The region is a very vibrant one for the aviation industry, where our customer base has been growing, so it makes perfect sense to have a dedicated leasing and asset management expert to complement and strengthen MTU’s presence in Dubai.”
