ExecuJet MRO Services marks 20 years of operations in the Middle East

ExecuJet MRO Services Middle East celebrated its 20th anniversary at the onset of this year, commemorating two decades of sustained growth, technical excellence and a reputation for trusted service to the region’s evolving business aviation market. The company started operations at Dubai International Airport in January 2006, making it one of the first dedicated business aviation MRO companies to establish operations in the Emirate. 

It relocated its main base of operations in 2023 to Al Maktoum International Airport, also commonly known as Dubai South. ExecuJet MRO Services Middle East started small, but has since grown into an award-winning, large-scale MRO facility offering a comprehensive suite of MRO services.The MRO company’s 15,500m² purpose-built MRO employs more than 180 personnel, providing maintenance support to a wide range of business aircraft and operators.

The company has also helped to develop Dubai’s business aviation ecosystem, as a leading global centre for MRO, by attracting and encouraging its suppliers and partners to set up activities in Dubai. ExecuJet MRO Services Middle East has in recent years further enhanced its customer offering through strategic partnerships with companies such as F/List, a leader in interior cabin refurbishments, and Satys Aerospace, a leader provider of aircraft painting and livery services.

Nick Weber, Regional VP Middle East, ExecuJet MRO Services, commented: “The 20-year milestone reflects our long-term commitment to delivering world-class MRO services in the region. From the early days, our focus has been on building a reliable maintenance operation based on quality, safety and long-term customer relationships. The growth we have seen over the years is the result of our team’s commitment and the trust our customers place in us. As the market continues to evolve, we will continue to invest in people, capabilities and infrastructure to meet our customer needs,” Weber says. “The foundation built over the past 20 years positions us well for the next phase of growth in the Middle East."

The operation launched with a team of 12 employees, doubling its workforce within its first year and delivering more than 21,000 labour hours in that initial period.
