Officials at the signing ceremony

Lufthansa Technik, DC Aviation sign deal for Al Maktoum airport

DUBAI, May 26, 2016

Lufthansa Technik, a leading manufacturer and independent provider of technical services for the aviation industry, has concluded a cooperation agreement with DC Aviation Group, a top operator of business jets in Europe.

As part of the agreement signed at the European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (Ebace 2016), the two companies plan to offer their VIP customers a first-class package of services at Al Maktoum International Airport, said a statement from the company.

An experienced, highly qualified team of engineers and mechanics will ensure cost efficiency and quality that are ‘made in Germany’, it said.

The contract services will be provided in the hangar and VIP facility of DC Aviation Al-Futtaim (DCAF), a joint venture between DC Aviation and Al-Futtaim, it added.

The services will consist of regular checks as well as maintenance services, including unplanned repairs e.g. in the case of an aircraft on ground (AOG). The portfolio also features services for aircraft cabins, including small modifications. Moreover, plans call for a mobile aircraft and cabin service to serve the region, said the statement.

The offer is rounded off by extensive fixed-base operator (FBO) services for ground operations at the airport, such as fuelling, catering for passengers and pilots and transport services. A luxuriously equipped terminal with 1,300 sq m of space is available for this purpose, it said.

Around-the-clock facilities for entry procedures and customs clearance will ensure seamless support. A hangar extending over 5,700 sq m of floor space will accommodate business jets up to the size of an Airbus A320 or Boeing 737. Last but not least, aircraft management and business jet charters are among the services offered by DCAF, it added. – TradeArabia News Service
