The Mohammed Bin Rashid Aerospace Hub (MBRAH) at Dubai South has officially opened a new Painting & Grinding Centre developed by Lufthansa Technik Middle East, marking a significant step in expanding advanced aviation maintenance capabilities in the region. The new facility reinforces MBRAH’s growing role as a key aviation hub supporting maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services.
Designed to handle component painting and grinding processes for structural and composite repairs, the center is expected to improve operational efficiency by enabling faster curing and drying times. This will help reduce turnaround times for airline customers across the Middle East and beyond, enhancing service delivery and aircraft maintenance performance.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by Tahnoon Saif, CEO of MBRAH, and Ziad Al Hazmi, CEO of Lufthansa Technik Middle East, along with senior representatives from both organisations.
In his comments, Tahnoon Saif said: “The inauguration of Lufthansa Technik Middle East’s new Painting & Grinding Center marks another important milestone in strengthening the aviation ecosystem at MBRAH. We continue to attract leading global aviation players establishing advanced capabilities to support the growing demand for aviation services in the region. This is part of our mandate to reinforce Dubai’s position as the aviation capital of the world, in alignment with our wise leadership’s vision for the emirate.”
Ziad Al Hazmi added: “This new facility marks a major step in strengthening our operational capabilities in the region. By introducing enhanced component painting and grinding capabilities, we are improving efficiency and enabling faster turnaround times for our customers. Our continued expansion at MBRAH reflects our long-standing partnership with Dubai South and our commitment to supporting the aviation industry in the Middle East with reliable, high-quality technical expertise.”
