Comlux, a leader in business aviation, transaction and completion services, has signed an agreement with Mohammed Bin Rashid Aerospace Hub to develop a new hangar facility on a 12,000-sq-m area. 

 

By mid-2023, the hangar will be fully operational, and Comlux will provide its Middle East customers with EASA Part 145- and UAE Part 145-approved maintenance services and cabin upgrade as well as refurbishment quality works on their VIP aircraft.

 

The facility will be equipped to simultaneously accommodate two ACJ and BBJ family aircraft types, including the future ACJ TwoTwenty. 

 

Comlux Aviation operates a fleet of 20 VIP aircraft, including several Airbus and Boeing aircrafts: ACJ318, ACJ319, ACJ320 neo, 737-500BBJ, 767BBJ, 777BBJ and 787 BBJ. 

 

Comlux Completion, based in Indianapolis, US, is an approved ACJ and BBJ cabin outfitter, an ACJ service centre, a BBJ Warranty and Repair facility, and the exclusive completion centre of the first 15 ACJ TwoTwenty cabins. 

 

"We are thrilled to be welcoming Comlux to the Mohammed Bin Rashid Aerospace Hub," stated Khalifa Al Zaffin, Executive Chairman of Dubai Aviation Corporation, after signing the deal with Richard Gaona, Executive Chairman and CEO of Comlux in the presence of Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airlines and Group and Chairman of Dubai Airports.

 

A free-zone destination for the airlines, private jet firms and associated industries, MBRAH offers global aerospace players high-level connectivity. 

 

Located in and developed by Dubai South, MBRAH is also home to maintenance centres and training and education campuses. It seeks to strengthen engineering industries to foster the emirate’s vision of becoming a leading aviation hub.

 

Gaona expressed delight at this new milestone for the development of Comlux in the Middle East.

 

"MBRAH’s organisation at DWC airport is providing us with the ideal location for our expansion in the immediate future. Our goal is to provide our Middle East customers with convenient, high-quality and cost-efficient solutions for their VIP cabin changes and upgrades at DWC during their stay in Dubai or during maintenance grounding time," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
