Dubai’s aerospace platform, the Mohammed Bin Rashid Aerospace Hub (MBRAH), officially inaugurated a new facility by Comlux, one of the leaders in business aviation, transaction and completion services. The inauguration ceremony took place in the presence of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, Chairman of Dubai Airports, and Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline and Group. It was attended by several dignitaries including HE Khalifa Al Zaffin, Executive Chairman, Dubai Aviation City Corporation and Dubai South, Tahnoon Saif, CEO of Mohammed Bin Rashid Aerospace Hub, Richard Gaona, Chairman of Comlux and Joseph Huber, Vice Chairman of Comlux as well as other senior officials.
The 20,000 square metres facility is strategically located within the VIP Terminal’s aircraft maintenance area at Al Maktoum International Airport in Dubai South. Serving as a hangarage, service centre, and regional headquarters for the company, it comprises a dedicated apron parking area, a fully air-conditioned hangar for indoor aircraft storage, and spaces for offices, workshops, and storage rooms. The facility will also provide aircraft cleaning and cabin detailing services.
Speaking about the new facility, Tahnoon Saif, said: “The opening of Comlux’s state-of-the-art facility is an added-value to the services we provide at MBRAH and reflects our commitment to attracting leading global companies and drive innovation in the aviation industry. At MBRAH, our mandate is to position Dubai as a global aviation leader, in line with the vision of our wise leadership. We are dedicated to supporting companies in establishing their presence and benefit from our integrated ecosystem.”
Richard Gaona added: “The new facility is a strategic move to support Comlux clients in the region and we are thankful to our partners at Mohammed Bin Rashid Aerospace Hub (MBRAH) for providing us with the opportunity to locate this service and maintenance center at DWC Airport. Jean-Michel Champredonde, General Manager of Comlux Middle East & Africa, will be overseeing the day-to-day operations and we will continue working closely with Dubai South as we grow our presence in Dubai.”
MBRAH offers global aerospace players high-level connectivity and is a free-zone destination for the world’s leading airlines, private jet companies, MROs, and associated industries. Located in and developed by Dubai South, MBRAH is also home to maintenance centres, training and education campuses. It seeks to strengthen engineering industries to foster the Emirate’s vision of becoming a leading aviation hub.
